I also accept that I don't know what God exactly is and/if God wants anything from us, is involved or how far that involvement extends if so and that I'll likely never know for sure.
IMO, religion is 100% man-made , as means to explain the explainable and a means to keep people in line and I don't believe God personally spoke with anyone directing them, be it Noah, Moses, Mohammad, Trump voters etc.
But the "it's all just random" belief doesn't make sense to me, there seems to be some logic behind the universe. But I also accept that could be wrong, but I highly doubt it.
To be on topic, am glad in this trend, religious groups like the Evangelicals/Religious Right have way too much political pull, if this trend helps even that out some, the better.
I don't think people are becoming more rational, I think religion is falling out of fashion a bit and more importantly the stigma around not being religious is fading. But in general I think people are more driven by identity than rationality.

I tend to wonder if this shift is more due to the people who were born into Christianity but didn't practice it extensively coming to terms with their own secular nature. I.e. I wonder how many actual"Bible thumpers" are being converted.

The God of the Old Testament would kick the shit out of Zeus. He's not a wimp turn the another cheek guy. He flew through Egypt like an angel of death, and as for the flood, he made it rain and rain and rain, for 40 days and 40 nights because he was sorry he said "let there be light", he made it rain and rain and rain and rain again! He committed almost genocide of his creation. Pfft Zeus, Odin, Crom all pussies next to Yahweh/Allah! Now there's a truly psychotic, narcissistic, supreme being, Sacrifice your sons for him! By the way Islam accepts the old testament.
