rather significant.

I wonder what influence all those TV channels that constantly have idiots asking for money and proclaiming all sorts of stupid statements, how many hours those shows waste trying to disprove evolution, or global climate change. The more we see of these modern day con-artists and their TV shows, the more young people know religious belief is nothing but a big con game.

I also wonder if the influence of Youtube and other social media might play a part. If young folks find out someone they grew up with, went to church with, is now a non-believer, from their Facebook or Tweets, I wonder if that's helping other non-believers "come out".
