Read the complete definition of "religion" at https://www.dictionary.com/browse/religion. You can see from this definition that religion doesn't necessarily have to do with a god. Since the Left is doing what they are doing to solidify a certain future for themselves, they have a religion going in what they are doing. Because much of what they do opposes common sense living for many people, they have a cult going for themselves.
jes you have to become powerful and one of the big boys to be considered religion otherwise just be a fucked up cult
But who determines who the big boys are. In a "God" religion, it is God.
