Since the next question reveals that, “the influence of religion in their own lives have been considerably more stable over the past six or seven decades than their views about the influence of religion on American society,” and, “Fifty-four percent of Americans in 2010 say religion is “very important” in their lives,” I guess most of ‘em think this is a bad thing.

If you have an affinity to your religion and want your kids to also, I think it’s important that religion is timely and connected to people’s lives and families. Interesting activities, trips, bringing in current events as it relates to beliefs. That kind of thing. I don’t know if the decline has anything to do with this - religion being not interesting - or as Charles said, it’s just perception.
