Although Evangelical affiliation has increased and Mainline Protestantism declined, the biggest growth in any category is of those unaffiliated with any church. The true explanation for Evangelical growth is not conversion of adult churchgoers from the Mainline churches, but the fact that Evangelicals have more babies and have them sooner.
@davidmcdonagh100 Reminds me of Bohr's Horseshoe. When confronted by criticism of a horseshoe nailed over his door he said "No, of course I don't believe in such nonsense, but it works anyway."

The story of the person who said they were atheist but also said believed in God in another section of the form reminded me of a lady on "Newsnight" a BBC nightly news magazine programme who, in response to a vicar who refused to baptise her baby son as she & her husband were not a regular or frequent visitors to the church, said: "Just because I & my husband are atheists, that is no reason why the vicar should victimise our baby son!"
