I think there's a selection effect there that makes it an unrepresentative sample.

  First, Gen Alpha is in their teens, so it's kind of hard to say what is happening there or will happen. Second, there is a growing divide between gen Z males that are skewing conservative in some ways. Their church/religious attendance is up, but overall attendance is still down. Gen Z females that are the most liberal demographic in history. The split is both political/social. (US analysis)

    >Their church/religious attendance is up This was debunked, at least in the UK. Not sure about the US but I'll bet it's the same sham (church sponsored) statistics. I think more of each generation is coming to realise that religion is an outmoded parasite.

      The church certainly is, but religion isn't and will never be.

        At this point I don't see any difference between the two. Modern religions are shaped (warped, really) by the larger organizations that control them. Sure, the concept of "spiritual/non-scientific belief" isn't a parasite in and of itself, but even if the existing organized religions ceased to hold their sway, and people treated religion as a personal thing without centralized authorities, I still don't see an end to (for example) people trying to get their religious beliefs enshrined in law. That's parasite behavior.
