It could be due to the rise of the internet and the ability of people to question their faith and get information on others. Science can explain the world in a way people understand more than religious dogma.

It could be that people are tired of fighting people who don't believe in the same religion. There have been a lot of wars and hatred in the past few years because of differing beliefs.

It could be the catholic priest sex scandal. People questioned going to church and being led by people that would do that.

It could be that atheists are becoming more outspoken and you can be non-religious in today’s world without any problem.

It could be that people started to realize that religion was designed to control people and instill fear into them. They might be happier by doing what they want to do in life without judgment from the church.

Maybe parents aren't indoctrinating kids into the faith the same way anymore.

I know that in elementary school, I started questioning my 'faith' and religion. I always said "one nation, many states" during the pledge of allegiance instead of "one nation, under God".
