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
These charts show an overall lessening of the importance of religion with each new generation. There is also a shift in the makeup of different religious groups, presumably from more Muslim and Asian immigration.
What I think is true about the Boomers which makes them scary is their desire to bring religion into politics. With the generations before them it was more just a norm of everyday life. You went to church. Everybody did. But for Boomers and the generations younger than them who follow Boomer religious leaders, it's about fighting the Culture War.
