The "Quiet Revival" U.K. a Terrible Misnomer

Below is one a paragraph from an organisation called "TG."  Just one of
countless reviews, reports and media driven speculations et el.
What we’ve sensed anecdotally has now been confirmed by a major report published by the Bible Society, “The Quiet Revival.” They surveyed more than 13,000 people, repeating similar research undertaken in 2018. The results reveal a significant increase in church attendance over the past six years, especially among those aged 18 to 24 (and particularly among men in that group). The data puts a lie to the common assumption that churches will continue to decline and that each successive generation will be less religious than the last. It turns out Gen X is the least religious generation.
This was published back in April, but it is only in the last two weeks that I have even heard of it. I certainly no nothing of any increased "church attendance; " but I know very little about the denominations.
The little I have read concerning this "phenomenon" is frightening. It is fraught with doctrinal error, a total lack of discernment, the strangest of inter-denominational cooperation, the linking of Romanists, Pentecostals, Anglicans, Baptist Union "churches," Methodists, Coptics, etc. 
it is research based on a very insignificant number of replies to questions that are irrelevant, and open to a multitude of interpretations.
I read somewhere, but I have failed to relocate it, that a man styling himself "Apostolic Bishop" had some significant sway.
The so-called increase in numbers of attendees is thus without any real evidence. it includes those who "go to church once a month;" similarly young men who now "pray once a month."
The greatest increase is in Romanism (falsely called Catholic) congregation, which speaks volumes to discerning believers! And the character of a huge number of "churches" is such that they compete well with what the world offers them. "Worship leaders," music arrangements with bands and soloists. Heightened excitement, vain repetition, and the complete absence of the Word of God, including any copies of the Bible in view.
But tragically the credence given by the Bible Society to this pseudo-spiritual hotch-potch of strange bed-fellows will cause some to be ensnared.
If one views the gross wickedness, the flagrant lawlessness of the U.K., it may serve to temper their opinion if the Lord will. 
Sad to say I even heard of this belief in a resurgence of sp0iritual development in an Assembly just last Lord's Day. I humbly warn my fellow believers of this insidious movement within this godless nation.   
I have included the definition of  Gen Z as it is prominent in many of the articles printed on this subject; surmising that many of you will have no idea what it means, I did not have the faintest idea personally.

Generation (Gen Z) refers to the demographic cohort born approximately between 1997 and 2012This generation follows the Millennials and is often characterized by their familiarity with technology and social media from young age. Gen is also known for being more diverse and socially aware compared to previous generations, often advocating for issues like climate change and social justice. 

These thoughts are my own, and are not the opinion expressed by anyone else or any religious body T.W.
