Our language really needs a new word for what is meant here by "religion".

The word "religion" brings so much baggage with it that it just causes a cascade of communication errors in this context.

Pareto when translated from Italian to English called this "non-logical conduct" and "sentiments" but after a 100 years no one seems to care much about this aspect of Pareto's thoughts.

Sentiments would be a great word for it though instead of "religion".

Woke sentiments instead of "woke religion".

The concept of identity sentiments might even be a little bit of progress.
