Calling wokism a religion is doing it too much honor. I realize not everyone here is as fond of religion, but it's an indisputable fact that both Europe and America had their apex under the tutelage of the Christian religion. Wokism cannot create something so great, it can only co-opt and wreck the thing. It's a cult, a perversion of the religious instinct.
That's all true, but in terms of autistic legalism they would certainly qualify as a religion. People are also incapable of escaping their confessional heritage, which results in it becoming a grotesque mockery of Christianity. Ideally, they would be ruthlessly repressed by all western nations formally restoring some flavor of proper Christianity while purging the progressive elements that have infiltrated them, such as Vatican II for the Catholics, the ELCA for Lutherans, whatever is going on with the Anglicans, etc.
Thank your for showing some autistic legalism representation. I see relegion as essentially pre-packaged philosophy with an instructional support system of buildings and titles.
I have worked to expand my exposure to differing philosophical teachings as I get older. Surprisingly, after a decade of following the hedonism of Aristippu, I am now properly appreciating the power of Christianity through the teachings of Thomas Aquinas. Certainly a more fulfilling approach to existence.
Physical pleasure is fleeting. Personal development of body and environment is eternal.
A religion has to be established, meaning that it has withstood the test of time. Hence my use of the word cult. A religion need not be noble. Ripping out the hearts of POWs is a religion.
But even that religion was able to withstand the test of time, as awful as it was.
Can wokeness as much survive, let alone build a civilization?
BTW, I wish you'd disagreed about the apex of Western civilization. That would have been an entertaining dialogue.
Just because one religion did a good job, doesn't mean you have to do a good job to qualify as a religion, there's plenty of shitty religions out there.
You just need some blind faith and some rules et voilà.

I am not a believer, but the theory in Christianity (as well as in Tolkien) is that evil is not a creating force, merely a perverting one.

It is a religion. A religion of an inconstant, frequently shifting, capricious demon, but a religion nonetheless.
The reason they can't really create the is because the creature they serve cannot create either. Only warp and distort.

I agree. Wokism involves constantly changing your beliefs. That would be crappy for a religion. Cults do that.
It's a crappy religion.
