"The Boxers, armed with rifles and swords, claimed supernatural invulnerability towards blows of cannon, rifle shots, and knife attacks."

The combination of absurdity of the core claims of the movement and width of audience gained seems fairly similar to me.

So really you are just lumping in QAnon with all religion. I'm not sure who would be more upset with that QAnon folks or religious non-QAnon folks.

I know a lot of religious people, but none of them think themselves exempt from basic laws of nature (e.g. immune to artillery fire). This kind of belief goes way beyond usual religion.
