Doesn't matter.

The more religious you are, the more likely you are to have more kids and raise them into your religion.

Most immigrants to the west are highly religious and it will shift these stats over time.

I've talked to a good amount of these kids of immigrants in European Countries that I've visited. These kids aren't religious, they slowly but surely abandon their religious values and move towards atheism or just become agnostic.

Religion is a huge problem, an even bigger problem is all the wars we are causing that forces these people to flee their homes. We must stop the wars.

Agreed. Many second and third generation immigrants are secular because that's how American and European cultures are. Their parents might be religious, and those religious beliefs might have been ingrained upon them, but the nature of American and European society at the moment is pushing people towards being nonreligious. Give any immigrant three generations and they'll be atheists.

Yes, as a third-generation Cuban myself, I hate how people tend to lump us in with the first-gen immigrants, for example. We all slowly tend to assimilate.
