That's the point...

America's (and the world's) population is growing, and most people in Ameriac are Christians. It makes sense that their kids will be raised Christian as well, so of course the absolute number of Christians is going to increase. The fact that non-religion continues to grow as a percent is the important part.

In every country and every age, the priest had been hostile to Liberty.
