One of the tenents of evangalical Christianity is that everyone is seeking some sort of spiritual fulfillment. From my own experience, many of my atheist friends seem to be perfectly content being atheist and it appears the Church of England is noticing the same thing. Interviews with young people, where they tried to subtly steer the conversation towards religion, showed that considerations of spirtual meanings and messages were ignored. People aren't so much deciding they no longer believe as they are just not thinking about it. There there is no conscious thought to it, there is no searching for spiritual fulfillment. When it's so easy to be content, it's much easier to forget about the intangible.
