In that framework, the people comparing wokism to a religion might point out several unfalsifiable beliefs that it's adherents generally hold. For an example of a fairly common one, "[inequality] is the result of discrimination."
I'm not trying to attack religion (happy to do that elsewhere), just trying to clarify the language being used. Specifically, this game of calling people who believe in a certain morality religious is dishonest. Just because I believe that all people should be treated equally regardless of race, creed, color, gender, sexuality, nationality, etc -- that doesn't make me religious. I hope at worst it makes me avoid being a "bad person".
That's playing with words. If we can agree that discrimination exists then that clearly impacts "equality".
As to the nit about religion -- I was trying to be polite. Religion really exists because people were really ignorant in the beginning and wanted answers to the questions of life. Then it became a self-sustaining self-serving organization that exists because "god".
I'd posit that almost all religious people are of their faith because their parents were of that faith. Then it's turtles all the way up.
Well, first and foremost, the First is about the government interfering with speech. I don't think that applies to what you're complaining about, which appears to be an increase of intolerance of intolerance.
And your usage of "religious" to those of that ilk is sloppy whataboutism. Religion is about believing is something that can't be proven, and countless atrocities have occurred in its name. Equating that to somebody who says "black lives matter" and believes that to be true is flat out dishonest.
