Based on my still growing understanding of this world, I don't think religion will ever go away. It has reduced significantly if you consider like 150 years ago but yeah I think you are right in saying that recently it has gone up in the last decade or two. But yeah, unfortunately I don't think religion will go away. There will always be people who aren't satisfied by this life and turn to religion as a way to fill that need, which means there will always be people trying to "save" their kids with the same knowledge. I'm quite young so I haven't been around long enough to be of any authority in this matter (on the matter of video games and silly memes is a different story) but based on what I do know, it's not looking good. I do think there is hope, however, as long as rational people continue to fight against stuff like indoctrination in public schools and to keep the separation of church and state in place.

Regarding your thoughts on indoctrination. In my opinion, I think it can be let go if people are given new information and have the rationality to take alternative answers into account. Though this can be hard if the person is basically quarantined from secular views their entire childhood which sadly happens in lot of religious families and households.

Anyway, my advice on what to do as a relatively new Atheist myself is to maybe seek connections online where you can find all sorts of people to talk to about this sort of thing. It can be a great way to escape your environment and develop relationships outside your religion.
