Jews have free choice.
Many Jews of the present generation have not engaged in decades of Torah study and thus are unfamiliar with the commandments.

For the same reason that there are so many irreligious Christians. Jews are people and people are all different.

who is to judge who is an irreligious jew?
the "non observant" jews are just not fulfilling as many mitzvahs as the "observant" ones, but are still doing what is needed for jews to do to be jews.

Assimilation, being "sucked in" by the secular world. It happens in all religions.
What's really sad is that more Jews have been lost to assimilation than in the Holocaust.

I am religious. When you say irreligious are you talking about not attending service or is there a deeper meaning behind your question?

I will take an irreligious Jew over one of your fanatics that wishes to kill in the name of G-d.

Some folks just don't want to admit their own sin nature.
