LINK Atheism Skyrockets in Generation Z
DETROIT (ChurchMilitant.com) - Studies show that atheism is growing at an alarming rate in the United States.
According to data and analysis published in January by religious research company Barna Group, 13 percent of Generation Z identify as atheists. Generation Z consists of those born 1999-2015.
This is around double the percentage of atheists in previous generations. Only about 7 percent of U.S. Millennials, for instance, called themselves atheists.

‘Alarming’ makes it sound like a bad thing.

Right?!?!
That was my first thought. But I guess from the perspective of those funding the studies it's a bad thing. It will translate into a loss of income for the churches (or mosques or temples or whatever...) And although I would hardly call 13% "skyrocketing" imagine if your stocks kept slipping by that amount each year. Yikes.
I'm thinking we can all agree, though, that it's a very good thing. 
education is key,no longer do we need a God that only loves us,by believing in him.No long we believe that a Satan only sin was to educate mankind.
