I started to convert to atheism at about 11, it started when I prayed for 5 days that my dog would come home safe and he didn't, after that I started to see things differently and even more clearly. Years later I still can't be 100% sure there is no god but I'm 99.9% sure there is no religious god that we humans have worshiped over the years.
As for the decline, the internet and social media is a big part of it's decline and it will kill religion eventually
