For years we’ve likened “wokeism” to religion; some people have even called Wokeism a religion. But it’s time to stop skirting around the issue for a number of reasons. We need to call Wokeism what it is and not only describe how it is a religious practice, but how it must be banished from our culture. In particular, the workplace is an excellent place to begin this attack not only on moral grounds but through the legal system.

To begin, what qualifies Wokeism as a religion? Here’s one description from US Border Patrol and Customs Protection:

For purposes of Title VII, religion includes not only traditional, organized religions, such as Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism, but also religious beliefs that are new, uncommon, not part of a formal church or sect, only subscribed to by a small number of people, or that seem illogical or unreasonable to others.  An employee’s belief or practice can be ‘religious’ under Title VII even if the employee is affiliated with a religious group that does not espouse or recognize that individual’s belief or practice, or if few – or no – other people adhere to it.  Title VII’s protections also extend to those who are discriminated against or need accommodation because they profess no religious beliefs.
