Americans 18-29 year olds are trending to be more Irreligious according to the Pew Research center

According to its findings the Pew Research center reports that American 18-29 year old adults (who at one point in their life identified themselves as a christian):
-are less likely to be affiliated with any one particular religion
-more likely to identify themselves as agnostic, atheist, or believe in nothing at all.
-more inclined to see evolution as the best possible explanation of human life
-less inclined to believe that hollywood threatens christian moral values
-Attend church less often than elders
-Only 27 percent of 18-29 year old adults (according to the poll) indicate that they read the Bible on a weekly basis.
-less inclined than those in older age groups to view the Bible as the literal word of God.

Read the results of the in-depth study here.
I think 18-29 years old adults are definetly the leaders of this upcoming generation and are much wiser and more progressive thinkers that the previous generation; however we have become Irreligious and less likely to have the Bible as our standard for living.

I believe we (18-29 year old adults) are falling under the lukewarm category (Revelation 3:14-22). What do you think?
