Do these people want the Bill of Rights incorporated to the states or not?
At the founding, every state had some sort of official religion, mostly Anglican or Congregationalist, through either explicitly writing it into the constitution or other explicit legal protections. If progressives want their religion to be exclusive within a state, then other states can similarly declare a different official religion. If progressives want no official state religions, then they have to treat all institutions equally, including those that reject the progressive religion.
Obviously, what they really want is to nullify the establishment clause by pretending they don't subscribe to any theology despite their many metaphysical declarations in order to force a federal religion, but that is a bullshit rhetorical trick.
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.
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.
