Things have changed over the past century.
Until recent generations, religion was perceived as a strict divide. You were either religious or you weren't, and you placed yourself in either one well-defined camp or in the other.
Over the course of time, Israel followed Western influence, and developed many intermediate shades of gray. By today, people place themselves on a spectrum, from very religious to anti-religious. Many people also have very strong feelings about their position vis � vis Judaism - ranging from the politically correct to loud street demonstrations.
This situation changes rapidly in Israel, because of its immense immigration, and its constant debates about Who is a Jew?
