Reminder: "unaffiliated/none" does not mean "atheist/agnostic." It may well mean "Generally Christian, haven't found a denomination or congregation I like yet."

This is true. There was also a thing about some people declaring themselves believers a religion from Star Trek if I recall.

It would be interesting to see how this compares to all young people, as opposed to students. I would imagine those numbers will skew more towards religion than these.

It does seem to be trending. In Austin, TX it has been reported 60% of Austinites do not go to church. Austin is one of the younger cities in the country. It is a start.

I believe this is probably quite accurate. My grandson is a Gen Z and at 15 is already identifying as an atheist. He is also much more diverse than I ever was at that age.
