One of the main points of secularism is to protect everyone's right to practice their own religion, to stop the persecution of the less "popular" ones.

And assuming you're in the US, you live in a (supposedly) secular country.

You can have a secular country where everyone is religious.

If religions are failing in secular states (like mainstream Chrisitan denominations in the UK), proponents of those religions are often quick to blame secularism. In reality however those proponents continually miss the point of why their religion's are failing, specifically their own inadequacies when it comes to convincing people (the younger generations) that their beliefs have something to offer. Whereas in generations past you had a state saying 'you must be x religion and you must go to x place of worship', now it's a free market place of ideas.

Children are no longer told 'you must be this religion' but are instead left increasingly to think for themselves. Religious affiliation taking a nosedive is just the awesome side effect.
