But that's Jewish-religion not Jewish-ethnic group.

That's my point. The study is talking about religious Jews, be them Ashkenazi, Mizrahi, Convert, or Karaite, and not atheist American Yiddishkeit Jews who are the stereotypical "liberals."

But still fair enough, Jews do tend to the liberal side of the scale, as this confirms, consistent with their high IQ. The way Kanazawa presents it in the study isn't exactly the way I'd like to see it analyzed, but simple regression of those of Jewish ethnicity alone (probably not asked in that sense in the survey -- probably most Jews ticked off "white" as their answer to race/ethnicity, making it harder to disentangle religion from ethnicity) would be informative to the religiosity aspect.

I agree, and I'm sure a study of Jews alone would show an inverse relationship between religiosity and liberalism.
