This opinion piece may be correct. I think it is more their personal politics informs their religion, and no main stream religions available in their areas cater to that in the US. Even finding things like Buddhist temples, that aren’t really just some ethnic traditions that necessarily keep peopleout,are hard to find. A lot of churches are ideologically just as awful as we remember. Mosques even worse. Reform Jewish temples are open minded and progressive but Gen Z has a huge problem with Jews in general.
I really think we are going to see a big problem with the cohort as they age. Not just religiously. Teachers have been warning for years that Gen Z as a group have severe deficiencies with critical thinking and reading comprehension. Normally, I think these divides are too rough to be useful. However, there definitely seems to be something there.
Gen Z is just as gullible. Technically, more gullible than Boomers because Gen Z fall for scams at the highest rate as a cohort.

They don’t fall for scams at a higher rate—they fall for online scams at a higher rate. Which shouldn’t surprise anyone.
Gen Z is far more online than other generations, giving them more chances of being scammed. Classic case of not factoring in online usage.
They’re also still young with less life experience.
Do you have a source for that? I’m not disputing you but I’d like some more context.
I would have said the problem with Jewish temples as a choice for people seeking a religion is that Judaism has a pretty high barrier to entry.
