and the young don't care.

But another major reason religious diversity is outpacing the growth of racial/ethnic diversity is largely due to the explosive growth in non-belief among Americans. One in five Americans now identifies as religiously unaffiliated. In 13 states, the “nones” are the largest religious group. Non-religious people now equal Catholics in number, and their proportion is likely to grow dramatically, as young people are by far the most non-religious group in the country. This isn’t some kind of side effect of their youth, either. As Adam Lee has noted, the millennial generation is becoming less religious as they age.

I could stand having every church turned into a Starbucks even though I hate their coffee.

Bold by me. That doesn't seem to exclude any other kind of woo. New agers of all breeds and colors may be among those religiously unaffiiated.

Don't get me wrong, I think it's a good thing, that more and more people, especially when they're young, move away from scripted religion and all it's baggage, but it doesn't say they're not religious in any way shape or form.
