There have been several studies suggesting that a high percentage (some lower and some higher than 75%) of students leave the church after high school. With regards to the church in other countries, I said the church is growing in many places where people are rejected by their families. I'm not sure which of those things you are trying to refute.
Studies have shown 80% of people who trust Christ do so before they are 18, so it is only logical that it is more likely for someone to come to a saving faith if they are introduced to it while they are still young. Having said that, we are not always talking about the same people when we say the word "christian. Not everyone who claims to be a Christian actually is. I talk to many self-professed "christians" who often cannot explain what they believe or know whether they will be going to heaven, and many think they will go to heaven because they do good or were baptized or went to church every Sunday.
BTW, If you are accusing me of believing the Bible to be true, then I am guilty as charged.
