[quote=Anonymous]Pew's latest issue of Trust magazine says the idea that Americans are less religious blurs some concepts, like distancing yourself from organized religion vs. from religion itself. Also, only 3.1% of adults of all ages identified as atheist, 4% as agnostic, and 15.8% identify as "nothing in particular" which is obviously different from agnostic/atheist. But I'll skip over that and focus on OP's "young people."

Re millenials in particular, the Pew article points out that millenials are slow to make any attachments. They work several gigs instead of a full-time job, or they job hop. They live with partners instead of getting married. They decide how to vote at the last minute. All these examples are straight from the Pew article, which says, "But we're also seeing the millenials' slowness to make any kind of attachments, and to limit this to just religion is to miss the extent of what's happening."

Sorry no link, the magazine happened to be was
on my desk so I just opened it and read the article. You can probably google it. [/quote]
