[quote=Anonymous]Any religion that is watered down loses followers.  For example, if you are a Catholic mother who sends your kid to CCD but you fail to instruct your children in the home (don't make church attendance a priority, do not pray as a family, do not discuss/study your faith or the bible) your children will probably fall from the church in adulthood and potentially marry out of their faith.  And, of course, religion in the home doesn't even guarantee that your children will keep a faith when the world we live is so secular.  The majority of Jews in the U.S. are reform.  They don't keep kosher, don't observe Shabbat, rarely attend services, etc.   And then, the typical Jewish man or woman, is surrounded my nonjews all day.  The pool of Jewish partners to choose from is quite small.  So, if religion was not a priority growing up, it certainly won't be a priority when it comes to matters of the heart.  I think it is sad that the Jewish population has not only suffered discrimination and attacks of genocide over the centuries, but also are dwindling through interfaith marriages.  But no Jewish man or woman, who was raised with little faith or minimal awareness about his/her culture, is going to feel personally responsible for the future of kial Israel.[/quote]
