I think the answer is a clear "Yes".

It's certainly increased the rate of deconversion.

If you're not limited to your bubble anymore, that means you can get more perspectives.

     Without a doubt. I have met lots of people who were persuaded to become Orthodox Christians because of things they saw online. The concept is strange to me, as I was converted by a friend IRL, but it does make me appreciate how important internet presence is to ministry in America today.

There's been increasing irreligiousity which probably has little to do with the internet; Gen Z seem to be following a similar trend as millennials. And millennials as parents aren't drifting back. There's little study I could see, into religious 'switching' amongst those still religious which would be interesting.
