There are many non-Orthodox Jewish Israelis that live in Jerusalem and in the Greater Jerusalem area. Only 30% of population are ultra-Orthodox in Jerusalem...
It does not sound like you to come to the conclusion that if 30% is Ultra-Orthodox then the other 70% are 180 degrees in the other direction.
But if you want to quote numbers:
Quote:
Of
the Jews in Jerusalem, who according to the statistics make up around 62% of the
city’s population, 32% defined themselves as ultra-Orthodox, 21% as religious,
10% as traditional-religious, 16% as not very religious, and 19% as totally
secular.
Actually I have several non-religious (as well religious) relatives/friends that live in Jerusalem and surrounding area. Even the religious people use an electric hot plate during Shabbath and quite a few of them are reliant on electric heating.
