You know, I always keep wondering.
Here in Europe, in Western Europe to be precise, we had the so called '68 generation, named after the year of the largest student protests. It started out as a protest against Vietnam and many European governments supporting it, but it also broke up the encrusted structures of the postwar aera, religion among them.
Point is, it was a mixed bag of activists carrying that movement. Some, like one of the most charismatic leaders, the German Rudi Dutschke, were christians, but others were outspoken atheists. It still led to religion as well as authoritarian structures taking the backseat in Europe from then on.
Since you had a similar movement in the USA, I wonder what happened that it didn't have any lasting effect.
