I'm not sure why Boomers are considered more religious than the Silents. The religious Silents also seem more what some call fanatical about it than the religious Boomers.
Generational cohort by religious percentage
One interesting thing about the data you shared is that the G.I. Generation makes up a smaller percentage in certain aspects than Silents or Baby Boomers, which could mean that religiosity also plays a role in the cycle. Somewhat surprising that G.I.s had less belief in God, absolute standards of right and wrong, belief in Heaven or Hell, and slightly less frequency of participation in prayer.
Maybe this means that in the years ahead, the two generations after Millennials will bring another surge in religious belief, followed by another decline in subsequent generations.
