Since you invite the question, what is a "modern orthodox neighborhood?"

I am also a little puzzled by the identification of being culturally Jewish.  Of course, I have heard it before, but I don't understand it at all.  I was raised a Christian, and it may be that some of that vile superstition infects my ideas someway or other, but I do not identify myself as culturally Christian.

I think culturally Jewish is the equivalent to "culturally insert minority group" - If you were raised Christian, you are a part of the majority's religion and most culture is  made for you. When you are a minority, your identity becomes important and things you never cared about start to impact your life. Inevitable, most westerns are culturally Christians - I bet your life has been influenced by Christianity whether you accept it or not - As much as it has been influenced by prominent philosophers, artists, etc.
