In my country, Austria, 59 percent register as arreligious. So it's already happening. To my knowledge, only the US is still majority religious when it comes to the western world.

And of the US religiousites, if you factored out the slackers, posers, wannabees, charlatans, frauds, and exploiters, we would be leading the pack.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

From the Wikipedia article, only 12% of Austrians are atheist.

Irreligious, according to Gallup. Meaning, they don't identify with any denomination. And sorry, it's 54 in 2014, not 59.

Is a areligious synonymous with atheist?

It's irreligious. I mistyped. And it covers the whole branch between not being interested in any denomination to atheism.

I like the 3-category approach cited in the Wikipedia article.  Really covers all of the bases, IMO.

So 40 % in France are atheists. That's wonderful.
