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.
Yes we had stoners, potheads, college student's protesting and wood stock. But there is one thing i can say we may have lost in Vietnam but at least we saved civilian lives that were going to be killed. Dad is a Vietnam vet i am proud of him.
Atheism is a non-prophet organization join today.
