First. Is it a new thing? Not at all. Its was same centuries ago. Many come and leaves. I also notice, most of these return in later ages. Like this Turkish guy in our corridor and his atheist father. Does science have to do with it? I guess not as my science professors are coming into religions and science students who believe in GOD. What is it then?
One element to my observation is that ehy Controlled by their desires, self centered freedom and struggling with identity crises, stuck between two cultures (those who admire west or grown in west).
The second element. They just don't feel the presence of GOD. For those who believe science have some thing to do with it. It was happening centuries ago as well. There is no ultimate answer to it.

"I also notice, most of these return in later ages." in your example we're talking about two different persons, two different generations. And from what I gather the son was brought up in a non-Muslim country. Paradoxically feeling more uprooted, more at a loss, than his elders.

@EarthlingWise: That son, will always be living in WEST and he was the one to convert his father too, who brought him atheist. All I am implying is that, its very complex human behavior and I can't get a hand on it, what drives one to faiths and one away from faiths, beside the desire of "self centered freedom".
Maybe the father was not practising a religion, but how much thought had he given to it?
