Don't want to offend anyone, but it seems to be as though my generation (I'm 29) and onwards has seen a dramatic decrease of religious people. I live in the US, so I'm basing this on my personal observations, but there are fewer and fewer religious people as time goes on.

Also, the people that do go to church may not even believe the stuff the church is teaching them anyways, and may just do it because they want to feel good about themselves. For example, I had my daughter baptized, possibly just to please my grandparents.

Lastly, and I'm sure that I'm not the only person to think about this, but... There are so many different religions with conflicting views. They can't all be right, so what do religious people think of other religions besides their own? Do they think that what they have been taught is correct and everyone else is living a lie? I'd consider myself to be a very open-minded person so it was rather easy for me to figure things out, but it almost has to take some sort of extreme negligence and ignorance to think that way.
