Not all Jews identify with their religion more than their nationality, but like all minorities, I would bet that a large number do. A big part has to with what the American means to many people. To me and many I know, the stereotypical American drinks three beers a day, drives an SUV or pickup, has a weight problem, votes Republican, supports war, is irresponsible, is illiterate, takes cellphone calls in the movie theater, is rude, is racist, is violent, listens to country music, lives a completely unexamined life, and doesn't think for themselves. Why would I want to identify as an American? With the way our country is run right now, I'm thoroughly ashamed to be an American.
