This year’s research showed that Busters are the adult generation least likely to embrace the existence of life after earthly death; least likely to maintain views related to moral behavior that are consistent with the Bible; least likely to devote time to serving people; least likely to engage in traditional religious activities such as Bible reading, attending church, praying to God, and attending religious education classes; and the least likely to tithe to a church. They are also the generation most likely to believe we can communicate with dead people, the most likely to engage in sex without being married, are far more likely to endorse postmodern lifestyle perspectives, and are the most likely to hold theological views that conflict the Bible.

Busters generally describe themselves as “spiritual” but have less interest in church activity than do any other adults. As the current parents of most of the nation’s under-13 population, the long-term implications of their departure from orthodox Christianity are significant.

We (Gen-Xers or Busters?) tend to be the most conservative out of any group.

While I will agree that Gen-Xers are probably much less religious than other groups but being religious and being moral doesn't necessary correlate.

Drug use by teenagers declines, continues its decline

More Teenagers Say No to Sex

So while as a whole we are less religious it appears as Gen-Xers are starting to replacing the baby boomers as the majority of parents of today's kids even though we might be less religious we are doing a better job at raising more moral / better behaved kids so this doom and gloom about the future doesn't hold water.
