when i say jews are neurotic, i'm not talking about the religious jews but rather the secular jews religious fervor isn't necessarily a sign of neuroticism, its a measure of the intensity or passion of a religious belief. i would in fact argue that as jews became more secularized, their neuroticism increased and this is where a lot of the very bad thinkers of jewish origin came from (i'm thinking of freud and wilhelm reich here, among others)
