The term that describes the coincidental growth in both the pro-religion and no-religion categories is "religious polarization." This means that there is a growing divide between those who are religiously affiliated and those who claim no religious affiliation. It is not a case of secularization phenomenon, which refers to the decline of religious influence in society. It is also not a religiosity divide, which is a term that describes the differences in religious belief and practices among religious groups themselves. Spiritual renewal and decay would be more appropriate terms to describe the overall trends in religious belief and practice, but they do not specifically address the growth in both pro-religion and no-religion categories.
