Is the Argument for Religion Rejection a benefit?

Some kids drift off to another faith but there is little point in exchanging one fairy tale for another. I suspect that most of the ones who drift away really do not latch on to another faith and simply become the "None's" in the US.

Quote:“Nones” on the Rise

The number of Americans who do not identify with any religion continues to grow at a rapid pace. One-fifth of the U.S. public – and a third of adults under 30 – are religiously unaffiliated today, the highest percentages ever in Pew Research Center polling.

In the last five years alone, the unaffiliated have increased from just over 15% to just under 20% of all U.S. adults. Their ranks now include more than 13 million self-described atheists and agnostics (nearly 6% of the U.S. public), as well as nearly 33 million people who say they have no particular religious affiliation (14%).3

1. I fail to see how that has anything to do with my OP.

2. Do you feel this equitably explains all "born again" Christians? That every christian who, or I'll grant you the majority of, found faith as a "new or born again" christian found it due to previous indoctrination?
