My completely unspectacular take on it is that it's a bit of both. Especially within the people I know, many aren't religious. Some who were brought up religious are no longer, and some who were very dedicated to the book made a big u-turn. The vast majority of these friends and colleagues I know from post-secondary institutions, so at first the idealist in me hopes people are arriving at these choices logically and deliberately.
The skeptic in me sees many of these same friends and colleagues as being without a sense of morality or tenacity. No direction or mission in life. Maybe they're just too lazy to follow a religion?
I think maybe Tom Cruise has done a lot to deter people from organized religion.
