I can only write from my own anecdotal personal experiences. The USA is still more so religious than Canada from my interactions with young people in both countries. Although, the perception that religion is comparable to a cult is rising among the shared expressed views of religion compared to ten years ago. I don't necessarily think religion is bad for society if we educate people to be closer to understanding reality by conclusive science than the whims of faith-based thoughts. In any case I definitely witness patriotism decreasing because the young generation has been having a difficult time in society financially speaking and compared to their parents. I would think most young people feel betrayed that quality of life is somewhat being stolen from them. This brings me to another assumption that desires to have kids is being grossly influenced by lack of finances and subconsciously. Everyone I know is opting in for a dog or a cat and so they can try to afford a mortgage for a home. Build more homes to offset the cost!
