I was scrolling through LSA (it's a guilty pleasure, sorry) and stumbled upon this thread on Trending. Naturally, as a Gen Z myself, it piqued my curiosity. I assume the American Survey Center carries similarly strong credibility as the ABS (Australian Bureau of Statistics), correct me if I'm wrong on them.
My country is already very secular, most Aussie cadaans only care about Christmas/Easter, and all my white friends who actually care about Christianity are sons/daughters of immigrants from like Croatia or Greece anyways. So, I'm not all that fussed about irreligiousity on the rise in and of itself, especially amongst apostates of another religion, none my business.
I'm more worried about a rise in being militantly atheist amongst my gen, because that would mean people directly attacking me and my Muslim friends at higher rates, as opposed to the weird glances we're already used to. Shit, what if we turn into another France?
I can't imagine Gen Z people who bang on about leftist activism on IG/Twitter a lot of the time, becoming violently against practicing religious folks and their own freedoms in 5-10 years but at the same time, we also couldn't have predicted everything becoming so politicised today too, with people calling normal fun stuff like movies "woke" all the time from 2016 onwards.
What do you guys think? Any predictions of your own?

Gen Z women are the first generation to outnumber men in abandoning religion
Over the last two decades, which witnessed an explosion of religious disaffiliation, it was men more than women who were abandoning their faith commitments. In fact, for as long as we’ve conducted polls on religion, men have consistently demonstrated lower levels of religious engagement. But...
