+1 clickbait title. In addition to what you say, they mention some erosion in the US of two of those pillars as the explanation for decreased secularism: pluralism apparently not in fashion (seems a bit weak; as a fashion, it waxes and wanes, and the wording feels to me to try to explain a decades-long trend (lack of US secularism) with a political fashion-of-the-day (waning pluralism)), and "eroded" education (eroded by...the mere existence of private schools? Private schools may provide better education than public schools in some cases, though they do give the option of religious schooling, and perhaps mostly get used for that. So, ok, then we say that religious education gets used in religious societies, so not teaching secularism results in people using religion? But, you would expect that in a religious society already, right? This doesn't really tease out cause and effect or provide any real support for the supposed erosion of this educational pillar, I don't think. It doesn't warrant this much analysis, as they really don't go into it.) They don't provide much of a compelling or well-supported argument or even much discussion relating to anything in that headline.
