To your point:
a 'generation gap' is sometimes an unbridgeable chasm, as noted in a letter i received from a 'None'. i quote in part: 
“I think you are overlooking a key concern that exists from the promotion of religion. First, religion cannot be supported by science... A second concern is Fake god, like Fake news is a Real problem. The goodness of being godlike and godly arbitrarily dismisses all the bad behavior advocated in the bible which is god's word supposedly, (I believe it is man's word used as a tool to subjugate people). ..We see the use of words in other holy books, from other religions, used to inspire people to be destructive today, just as the bible inspired Christians in bad ways in the past...I am quite upset by the deception (Catholicism and religion in general) that was foisted on me as a child.. I am well aware that my parent's parents indoctrinated them in the same manner. Since you are a person of science, I am holding you to a higher standard on this matter. .."
