They key statistic in the article is the trend. The numbers are debatable.

More people are becoming Catholics and Mormons.
Less people are becoming Protestants.

Perhaps your infant theory has some merit. Protestants are aborting themselves out of existence.

I prefer not to use the umbrella term Protestants as it's too wide-spread -- sometimes Baptists say they are not Protestants and sometimes Mormons say they are -- it's too diverse a term.

One can see that Assemblies of God Pentecostals are growing at 1.27% but Presbyterians are decreasing at 3.28% etc.
