I'd actually describe you as a "cusper" (in your case, being on the cusp of Gens Y&Z; I myself am a "cusper" straddling Gens X&Y). One of the terms used to describe your microgeneration would be "Zillennials" (a cross between Millennials and Zoomers).

I also recently wrote a book review of Anne Helen Petersen's "Can't Even" -- documenting the shared trauma of Millennials -- which I'd invite you to read here:

As far as your observations on organized religion, I can totally relate. My parents made me go to Sunday School during my childhood, and I was always the annoying kid piping up (to the Sunday School teacher), "But this doesn't make sense! I don't understand this!"

All along, my suppressed worldview was that it made sense to me that it's likeliest there are multiple deities in existence. It wasn't until I took a high school mythology course when I "came out" as a polytheist, as my broad-based faith was finally validated when looking at beliefs from other civilizations throughout the world.
