Some people think that just because someone is raised in one religion or another that they are going to believe that religion the rest of their lives. That isn't how this works.
Because I'm an intuitive often I see where people are at more than they know themselves.
One of the common experiences for me in the 1960s and 1970s was to meet people of one religion or another and look into their lives and what did I see? Mostly Fear. Because they didn't really believe in the religion they were raised in but were too afraid to admit it to themselves or to anyone else. So, the ACTED like they believed in one religion or another (whatever they were raised in to please their friends and relatives) because they were in the same or a similar religion.
But, somewhere in the 1980s or 1990s things began to change a lot (at least here in California).
It started with people becoming "Spiritual but not religious" which is in it's own way more genuine (generally speaking) than accepting the religion of your parents sight unseen. But then, their children (or grandchildren) saw that Islamic Terrorists were giving "religion in general" a bad name worldwide and so they decided (maybe rightly so) to think all religions were bad fairy tales to be avoided at all costs.
This is true of most students now at public Universities and colleges in California now, for example.
Is this good or bad?
I don't think you can define it that way.
Can you say that these kids or adults belong to the Smartphone Religion because they spend so much time on their smartphones and apps? You likely could.
But anyway you look at it people who have been born since 1980 are very very different than people born before then. 1980 seems to be a dividing line of some sort (at least in California this is true).
So, one way or another people's experiences while growing up still define what they believe in as adults.
And I don't think it's really useful to say that this is good or bad in result at this point in life for anyone.
It's just the way things are presently going on the coast of California especially from San Diego to the Oregon Border.
