In this article originally published in the British journal, Humanistically Speaking, the Edan Tasca of the Centre for Inquiry Canada and I examine the phenomenon of Wokism, which can be understood as a secular religion or as a mind virus that has infected humanist as well as many other organizations. We argue that, to achieve its stated goals, Wokism needs to change course. For Wokism to see itself as progressive, it must stop being regressive. To end racism, Wokism needs to drop its racist beliefs and activities. To protect vulnerable members of society, Wokism must strive to protect everyone who is vulnerable, regardless of their perceived oppression status. For a compassionate society, Wokism needs to forgive mistakes. To read the full article, please click on the following link:
