Will Generation Z be more conservative?

[Classic Conservative]

Yes, from my experiences at least in a liberal part of Massachusetts, most white teens my age and a little older are more conservative than the millennials, which most of us despise with a passion. They mostly have been shaped by their parents who were born in the mid-60's, the rise of memes, sadly, and hatred of the feminist and SJW movement. They aren't staunch conservatives and some are even 'liberal' republicans, socially progressive except abortion and economically conservative. Though staunch republicans are nationalistic and I'd even comprehend that a large portion >20% are white nationalists or some sort of racial purists.

An example of this arguement, is a kid in my class named Mike, he's a 3rd Generation American whose ancestors are from Lebanon. Earlier this year, we were having a discussion in class about gay marriage. He said, "I don't believe in gay marriage because, I'm Catholic." He also never attends church, and when he does he's a C&E Catholic and also attends on Ash Wednesday. A lot of people in my generation, who are socially conservative but they aren't religious. They use their parents' faith, to back up their beliefs, because they don't like different people than them. This is especially common amongst young male white kids, who only care about ending feminism, stopping abortion, kicking out the illegals, banning the 'PC Culture' and stopping the Muslims. In total, they aren't religious, but they use their faith they were raised in to back up their opinions.

This is why I predict that the types of atheists who go out of their way to argue with religious people will become Republicans.  Ten years ago their hatred was focused on rural conservatives.  Today their hatred is often focused on immigrants (especially Muslims).

This what I think will start happening over these next couple decades as well. A realignment that positions the democrats as the Party of working class whites and minorities would effectively position the GOP as being the more secular, nonreligious Party in order to appeal to fiscally centrist and socially liberal college educated whites, suburbanites and upscale minorities. The northern strategy as you called it.

Hell you even saw this with Christopher Hitchens. A self described Marxist and anti-theist who sided with the neoconservatives on the Iraq war because stopping the spread of what he called "islamofascism" was more important.

Um, with all due respect, have you ever spent considerable time in a WWC area? The people in those kinds of communities are almost exactly how Bannon's Brigade described the irreligious social conservatives. The kinds that only go to church when it's convenient (Ash Wednesday, Christmas, and Easter). This is true across the Midwest, and the Northeast. College-educated people tend to have higher rates of church attendance by far. Paradoxically, they're also more secular than WWC's as a whole, but I would also say somewhat more religious and spiritual than the WWC. It's just that the college educated people who go to church tend to not be the "once-a-year" types.

WWC people are more socially conservative than college educated whites.

In New England at least, Catholics who attend weekly mass are usually more liberal, unless you attend a Traditional High or Low Mass. Many Catholics who attend are usually college educated women who are widowed or 40-65 years old. Many of these people are pious but they are often like Pope Francis, many are liberal Republicans who hate Trump's views on immigration and his comments on groping. At least from my experience, Catholics who are WWC and attend mass not as often as their college educated counterparts, tend to be more Trumpian and socially conservative. A good example of this is a kid in my Boy Scout troop, whose family owns an auto body shop. They are Catholic WWCs' who attend mass sometimes, but they also are the largest Trump supporters I know.
