If we take “atheism” to mean the vague “lack of belief in any deities”, then atheism is still on the rise by a significant amount.

I guess there’s a far bigger gap in intelligence between the atheists and the religious than the religious would ever be comfortable acknowledging.
I tend to think that any conclusion that could be reasonably summarized as “I (or a group I belong to) am smart and everyone else is stupid” is not an opinion rooted in objectivity and is therefore very likely to be heavily biased.
At least in the US, younger generations are still increasingly nonreligious

Well how else will they get the algorithm to promote their videos
