I don't know how"woke" is actually defined, but it would seem to be a condition where one is offended by everything and tolerant of nothing.

People are worshipping the government.
For nazis, communists and et AL the government is God. Not so in America.

Sounds like Republicans. Submit to Southern Baptist authorities and “obey God” and follow “traditional values” or else.

"According to Merriam-Webster, woke means, 'aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice).' " https://www.npr.org/2018/12/30/68089...-woke-to-sleep

In this sense, Woke is the opposite of apathy. The term came into popular awareness via the BLM movement. It was directed towards fostering awareness that the status quo was based in passivity and apathy. Had the term not been associated with BLM there would be little, if any, real controversy. Most of the activist movements, including Trumpism and the Tea Party, have a similar basic awareness concept. When it becomes too easily triggered or exaggerated, as in many of the extremist conspiracy theories, it becomes a negative and self-destructive concept...not to be taken seriously.

Sky news asutrialia has this 10 minutes of news segment about a book which describes this new phenomenon called woke which has taken hold of all 5 major white Anglo Saxon nations. It is an interesting insight on what woke is, and also who woke culture conflict with itself such as lesbian gay vs trans, feminist vs trans, feminism vs Islam, LGBT vs Islam. The book is called madness of the crowd.
"Woke" has been around since the 1950s and 1960s. Go talk to Malcolm X about that.

The term woke has been around since the 1930s. It become popularized in the Civil rights movement. The term died down and now its back again. But woke was not a religion back in the 1930s and 1960s.
