IIRC the last survey I saw on this topic claimed that Jewish affiliation 
was highly correlated with the amount of Jewish education a person had 
had, but not with the sect in which he was educated.  OTOH I tend not to 
pay much attention to these studies so my recollection may be wrong.  
Does anyone on the list actually know anything about this?
