If 'dying off' resulted in declaring ones atheism to become twice as popular amongst GenZ than Millennials then I'll put flowers on it's grave.

About only 8% of young people identify as "Protestant" now? Do Evangelicals call themselves "Protestant" in polls?

No, evangelicals usually self-describe as "Christian", and younger uneducated people are often unclear about what "Protestant" even means.
