What's really happening is that religious Americans are far louder and more public and pushy about their beliefs because, for the first time, they feel that Christianity's status as de facto national religion is legitimately threatened.
I believe there are actually some statistics which support the notion that the U.S. has become more religious over time since its beginnings, and in a big way....
I suppose that depends how we define religion. Strict adherence to a specific religion vs. deism vs. "spiritual but not religious" vs. non religious or spiritual in any sense of the word and all the others in between. All might give you a very different picture of how religion has grown/shrunk over time.
