Honestly, I can't help but feel that this is a good thing. I honestly feel that for many people in the past, religion was a Have To, and choice was removed from the matter. If being religious is becoming more of a choice, then of course less people would choose to be religious- but as the article states, those that choose to be religious would then be far more interested in their respective religions.

I've often thought I might be more open to organized religion if it had not been forced on my as a child.
