That's very fair yes. But how can you tell those who are anti-religion for racist reasons from those who are for not?

There are two hazards in our discussion:

  1. someone being called racist
  2. someone suffering from systemic racism

I prioritize hazard 1 as having a lower consequence than hazard 2.

In other words, I care much more about eradicating systemic racism than the hurt feelings of someone whose motives are misunderstood.

OK that's a good argument. It's perhaps a flaw of the word "racist" that it can include systemic racism, when it connotes individual racism.
