    This is your take, from someone who defines themselves as militant? Lol.

    It’s absolutely a religion. One of the definitions of religion is “a pursuit or interest to which someone ascribes supreme importance.” The examples you mention are much less narrowly defined. And if they started persecuting people who don’t join their specific method, then yes, they would be, too.

    I mean, here you are proselytizing with poorly thought out memes. What’s more religious than that?

      If pursuing something ascribed supreme importance is a religion, then being a doctor is a religion. Doctors ascribe supreme importance to the value of human life and to saving it.

        Then it is. Not all doctors do, but ones who do would certainly fall under that category.

        You see doctors educating, not badly trying to shame people to, for example, not participate in sports.
