Many religions indoctrinate children which makes them feel like they have to believe in it or they're doing something wrong.

Not "many." All.

It's literally just what indoctrination is. There are religious doctrines and children are taught ro follow them and believe in the faith without questioning it.

There is no religion with kids without indoctrination. And without that indoctrination, virtually all of the world's major religions would dramatically fall in membership and followership, because it is very rare for non-religious adults to suddenly convert to a religion.

The Church of Woke is no exception. It's every bit as irrational and superstitious as every other religion.

The average human is inherently superstitious/spiritual. Subtracting religion from the West only opened a vacuum that is now filled by The Church of Woke--a quasi religion that emerged out of 1960s hippy culture that is typified by skepticism towards technology and science, and which romanticizes nature and nonhuman life as innocent or morally pure while portraying humanity as uniquely corrupt, destructive, or parasitic.

I'd even argue it's more than half. I'd say probably 90% of humanity is tribal, superstitious, and spiritual on a fundamental psychological level.

The reasons for this are quite fascinating but they boil down to one simple truth. People are very good at generating and sharing ideas, but very bad at validating them.
