Is "Counter-Racism" a Religeon?

Not right now it isn't. Counter-Racism is supposed to produce justice and you will not know you have justice until you have justice.
Right now counter-racism may be a "strong belief" but there is no evidence right now that any thought, speech, and action that is going on right now or has ever gone on in the past has ever produced a SYSTEM of justice.

This is the codebook definition of religion:
(1) The sum total of everything a person thinks, plus, everything that he or she says, plus, everything that he or she does.
(2) Believing that everything that is done, should be done to accomplish one basic purpose, plus, at all times openly letting others know that everything should be done to accomplish that one basic purpose, plus, at all times, speaking and acting to accomplish that one basic purpose.

So using definition #1, for most people, survival is their religion, correct?

That depends on what the meaning of the word "survival" is. I suspect the point that was being made is that whatever you do is your religion. Lots of people say their religion is this or that but they do things that they admittedly say is not part of their religion. That is a contradiction...even to them. This is the reason I say prayer is communication with the Creator. This reminds me that everything I think, say, and/or do is prayer since I also say that the Creator knows all things about all things.
So, when I'm cussing that's part of my religion, when I'm having sexual intercourse that's part of my religion, when I'm speeding on the highway that's part of my religion, when I'm attempting to replace racism (white supremacy) with justice that's part of my religion and when I'm cooperating with the racists (white supremacists) that's part of my religion too. However I use my time and energy is my religion.
I was reading some of the grand jury hearing of the impeachment of Bill Clinton. Clinton said...and I quote..."That depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is". After the hearing Clinton claimed he was being asked a question in the present tense about Monica Lewinsky because the person used the word "is". Clinton stated in answer to the question he was asked..."There is no inappropriate behavior between me and Ms Lewinsky". Now we know...there was.
In and of themselves words don't have meanings. People mean things when they use words. Words are the tools of people. People are not the tools of words. But the racists (white supremacists) train non-white people to think words do have meanings...then the racists (white supremacists) go around and give words specific meanings so that when the words are used by non-white people the non-white people will help keep the SYSTEM of racism (white supremacy) going. That is why when you start to use compensatory counter-racism words and their definitions the white people who practice racism (white supremacy)understand immediately that you are working against them.
