I think it would surprise you that most Israelis are atheists. They know the Torah cold, because it is their written history, but they don't worship God or even believe in him. Sure, there are lots of Orthidox Jews running around, especially the older generation. Try wishing a 20 something Israeli "Happy Chanuka". They'll look at you like you wished them leprosy.
Arabs hate Israel for religious reasons that don't really apply. Isn't that ironic?
