Not really. Religious fervour has moved to "wokeness". If you are not "woke" , you will (figuratively) be burned at the stake (job loss, deplatform, "MAGAT" etc)

I'm not woke. I haven't lost my job, been deplatformed, or been branded a "MAGAT". But I tend to not frequent platforms popular with the Elect, I never give out my real name or current employer, and I refuse to talk politics with the Elect. When possible I block them on sight as I do alt-reich cultists. Nor do I get involved with DEI initiatives at work, even if only to oppose them. I just refuse to care, and my silence is ultraviolence.

So you are virtually underground...kind of like some religious groups persecuted in countries (Hindus in Pakistan, Christians in China under the CCP).

Agree, that this is the best strategy for now. The good news is, like everything else, the "woke" religion is also impermanent.

Underground is where the interesting stuff happens, and I don't see myself as persecuted so I care little for the comparison. Don't mistake me for one sympathetic to your cause. I despise authoritarians of all kinds, left, right, and center.

Compare to "Science denier" as a pejorative.
