Blaze Media Reports: The realization that wokeness has transformed itself into a form of pseudo-religion has become increasingly obvious to conservatives. The ceremonies and festivals that occur during the month of June make it hard to ignore as Pride celebrations are increasingly treated as a hedonistic sacrament.

The fact that the United States government has heavily invested in these rituals creates an even more bewildering situation which trips the pattern recognition of those who are familiar with our mechanisms of constitutional restraint. As the Department of Defense, FBI, ATF, and Department of Education splash a rainbow across their logos and make passionate declarations of faith, many conservatives start to wonder what happened to the separation of church and state.

Christians are regularly told that they must check their moral convictions at the door because they live in a secular society, but the government seems to enthusiastically declare not just its preference but its absolute dedication to the new progressive faith. The truth is that the separation of church and state did not remove the reality of conflicting moral visions.

Instead, it created selection pressures that favored an ideology that could circumvent those formal restrictions.
