Indeed it is.

But is it causal?  Or is the decline of religions a effect going so long 
without wars?

Time wise, the decline of religions in Europe happened about a generation 
after WW II.

And as a side note where I can't find the reference as I recall the 
Falklands War resulted in an up tick in religions activity in Great Briton.
