Is it organized religion or a loss in a belief of a God that is responsible? I think it is organized religion and the way the way some distort the beliefs especially for political gain or their cause.
It seems like it's both judging by the fact that both the number of religiously unaffiliated (but ostensibly still believing) and professed agnostic/atheists have gone up. That was my reading of the data anyway, but obviously it's an extremely complex issue.

Well that makes sense.
