Evangelicals fear they are losing their teenagers.
"Their alarm has been stoked by a highly suspect claim that if current trends continue, only 4 percent of teenagers will be “Bible-believing Christians” as adults. That would be a sharp decline compared with 35 percent of the current generation of baby boomers, and before that, 65 percent of the World War II generation." - Laurie Goodstein, NYTimes
We can only hope and pray. So to speak. Perhaps with so few, they can go back to being Christians rather than christianists.
If only...

May be their children wouldn't feel the need to "stray" from the flock if their parents weren't such hypocrites.

You can only lie about so much before it backfires in your face. The Christian Fundies have to come up with a better story than a young earth while they pretend evolution is one giant conspiracy against God.
