I'm in that 53%, based on "put the evil out of your midst" and "deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of his flesh". The reason the other 47% include racial Jews as "Jewish" is because, if they were given a Jewish upbringing, then the 613 commandments are incumbent on them--requiring us to keep them on the periphery so we can continue to strongly admonish them, as is incumbent on us. Ultimately the decision to excommunicate or rehabilitate should be based on the individual, so a blanket statement isn't very useful.
