I went to law school on Long Island and now live there and can tell you that there are many non-religious Jewish girls out here. I went to law school with a lot of non-religious Jewish girls and many of them were very nice and pretty too. I disagree with your assessment that 50% of the Jewish women are religious. That number is far lower. I read somewhere that of the approximately 5.5 million Jews in the entire United States, only about 1 million affiliate themselves with the Orthodox movement. As someone on the inside looking out, I'd say that even assuming that you're figure of 500,000 Jewish women is correct, less than 100,000 of those would be religious, probably far less. As someone who exclusively dated Modern Orthodox Jewish women before marrying, I can tell you that if you think finding a nice Jewish girl is hard, finding a nice Orthodox Jewish girl is much harder. Yet, I managed to find one so I think you can find what you're looking for too.
