A recently concluded, two-decade survey of religious identity among Israeli Jews showed an uptick in religiosity. What does that portend for the country's secular democracy? That depends on how--or indeed whether--you choose to interpret the survey's results relative to the health of Israel's democratic ideals.

The Israel-Palestine Project 2011
