18 and agnostic. I don't believe in what the church says because none of it makes sense. The only thing that is keeping me from being completely atheist is because I acknowledge the possibility of some sort of higher being. I believe that said being, if it exists, only created the universe, and has nothing to do with earth. If we do not acknowledge that there IS the SLIGHTEST possibility that there MIGHT be a god, then we are no better than the overly religious people.
I know a lot of people who are atheist who are my age. I would say that teenagers are becoming increasingly secular.

Worldwide, no. In fact around the world Teens are running to Christianity at an all time pace.
In North America however, selfishness and autonomy seem to be the dominate worldview (why do we need God when we have a cell phone and credit card?) and thus North Americans are becoming increasingly secular.

I think in general, yes. Looking at the parents, when they were kids, their parents dragged them to church by their hair every weekend, lol. Teenagers today aren't really forced into it, and being a teenager, if someone doesn't make you do something, you're most likely not going to do it. Sitting in a church for an hour tends to be a bit boring anyway.
As a 17 year old, yes, I believe in god, but I'm not religious. It's moreso an ideal of universal respect, I guess. I'm not sure how to describe it.

From my personal experience, 24 here, they might say they are religious but are lacking in practice.
This doesn't even take into account the tons of openly secular ones.

I am 16 and I am an atheist.
Religion has done so much harm to the world; it cannot possibly be the solution.
This is the source of my secularism. The source of my atheism is logic.

Are the 10 commandments being taught in public schools? That question is your answer. Rocket science certificate to answer not required.
