The study mostly doesn't mention particular religion, and when it does it's Muslims.
Also, it doesn't mean that religion is on the rise but that among already religious people the younger pray more.
The questionnaire is too limited. They are only asking if they pray at least once a month and if they go to church.
It isn't about belief at all.
The elderly are more religious (christian) even if they don't pray and don't go to church.

“Chris Hopkins added that there were "a few theories" as to why young people made up such a large proportion of the religious landscape.”
^^^^^This is false info.
The text says:
“It also found 49% of the younger age group attend a place of worship every month, compared with 16% of over-55s.”

“"It is becoming increasingly clear that there is actually a growing spirituality in the nation," he said.”
^^^^^I did not see any indication of growth.
Also, this statistic is done during COVID-19, which isn’t the best time.
According to
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2016/...-religion/
“In March, driven by parishioner deaths and lack of interest, the U.K. Mennonites held their last collective service.”
“There have long been predictions that religion would fade from relevancy as the world modernizes, but all the recent surveys are finding that it’s happening startlingly fast. France will have a majority secular population soon. So will the Netherlands and New Zealand. The United Kingdom and Australia will soon lose Christian majorities.”
