2. I wouldn't say that they are godless. Being unaffiliated simply means just that.

Being of a religion requires a traditional indoctrination and example. People are losing their religion in America much like people are losing the ability to write cursively.

The quest for spiritual solace is ever a part of the human condition. Certain religions are anachronistic, and much cause and effect moves and has moved from the mystic realm into the world of scientific scrutiny as fact or fiction.

Part of religiosity is dedication, discipline. And how people use their religion as a guide varies, from wacked-out fundies to chilled-out love bubbles. Maybe people losing their religion means that God is more present in more peoples lives, that they are more connected to God and no longer need the interpretive filter of doctrine.

Lack of piety is not lack of spirituality.
