Their young group is from 18 - 29 but even there, those that believe to any extent are now down to 81%.

Down?

That is a huge percentage.

This anti-religion (Christian), suicidal attack against Religion in Government, Business, Public Displays, etc.

May result in 'Unintended Consequences'.

Just this Practical Atheist's belief.

It is down compared to the older age groups, and if you extrapolate the figures down to the next generation we could see figures lower than 60% having any belief.

Yes belief in the scientific method is gaining over belief in myths.

The religious fundamentalists are going crazy trying every filthy trick they can invent to convert. Jesus Camp and ISIL are the direct result of this.

If you need or want the UK figures there is a google spreadsheet at 2011 Census data - religion by age which if you do the figures indicates that of those aged 18 to 19, 34.9% had no religion in 2011, and only 48.7% said they were christians.

Results from a linear regression with number of stickers shared as the dependent variable ... .

What was on the stickers? If Luke Skywalker, I could see Chinese kids not giving a #%$@ and sharing away something not cared about anyway.

I do not see documentation of the issue Michel raised, but it is a believable concern: could most of the Chinese children been atheist (and maybe a small percent Buddhist), all the Jordanian children Muslim and most of the Turkish children been Muslim (with, maybe, less than a majority, some Christianb)? Where is the control for culture?

What about what I asked: length of time the family the child is from been non-religious (or religious)? Number of years or number of generations? Where's the control for that?

Capitalize on this good fortune, one word can bring you round ... changes.

only 48.7% said they were christians.

Attacking, and vilifying minorities, is disgusting.

Whether Racial, Cultural, or Religious.

You need to do some more homework.

How many times do I have to tell you this.

The 18 to 19 year old christians in the US are not a minority group because in the US the social majority are the christians.

What percent of 18 and 19 year olds in the U.S. are Christian?
Or, if you prefer (a la Eleanor Arroway), christian?

Factors Behind the Changes in Americans’ Religious Identification

One of the most important factors in the declining share of Christians and the growth of the “nones” is generational replacement. As the Millennial generation enters adulthood, its members display much lower levels of religious affiliation, including less connection with Christian churches, than older generations. Fully 36% of young Millennials (those between the ages of 18 and 24) are religiously unaffiliated, as are 34% of older Millennials (ages 25-33). And fewer than six-in-ten Millennials identify with any branch of Christianity, compared with seven-in-ten or more among older generations, including Baby Boomers and Gen-Xers. Just 16% of Millennials are Catholic, and only 11% identify with mainline Protestantism. Roughly one-in-five are evangelical Protestants.

It's no use making reference to those Wars of Religion because they happened so long ago that they are part of the US heritage as well because most people in the US are from European stock who moved to the US long after those wars.

And regarding Christians I was putting them all into one combined group, and your map just shows where some divisions are, but they would all claim to be christians. Therefore the majority of the population at the moment in the US are christians, but this is falling and as each new generation is able to make it's own decision and the oldies, like me, die off there will be less and less christians.

England has an official religion, but there is absolutely nothing to say you must belong to it. In the 2011 UK census there were over 1,300 different religious groups declared, including all the non-religious groups.
