The religious landscape of the United States continues to change at a rapid clip. In Pew Research Center telephone surveys conducted in 2018 and 2019, 65% of American adults describe themselves as Christians when asked about their religion, down 12 percentage points over the past decade. Meanwhile, the religiously unaffiliated share of the population, consisting of people who describe their religious identity as atheist, agnostic or “nothing in particular,” now stands at 26%, up from 17% in 2009.

General population - Atheist 4%, Agnostic 5% Nothing in Particular 17%
Men - 5% Atheist, 6% Agnostic 19% Nothing In Particular
Millennials - 8% Atheist, 9% Agnostic 24% Nothing In Particular
Republicans - 1% Atheist, 2% Agnostic 12% Nothing In Particular
Democrats - 7% Atheist, 7% Agnostic 20% Nothing In Particular
Oddly enough, there is nothing here about Generation Z. By other studies, it seems they are even more likely to have abandoned religion. Older cohorts of course, are more religious. As are cohorts with less education. Numbers of atheists and agnostics seem to be about in line with recent results from Gallup and other surveys.
Such studies seem to be getting harder to do as more people move to cell phones and do not respond to survey requests.
