I agree that the revival of classical liberalism should be done in a religion free manner.

What I find interesting about the photo in the article, from the Parents Rights Day of Action June 9 in Ottawa, is that it puts the likes of the OCDSB and the wokes in general in a rhetorically difficult position. Their itchy Racism!!!-accusing trigger fingers, normally primed for any sign of 'Islamophobia' in the zeitgeist, would now be squarely aimed back at themselves should they decide to make any negative comments about the rainbow-flag-stomping. So they are stuck, and really, victims of their own descent into identity politics. Its crazy and messy. The only way out of this, in real terms, is to simply stop with the identity politics, and treat everyone as the individual they are. Focus on one identity (Canadian) and cut out the special special interest groups, and the constant focus on identity groups, and the emphasis of difference.

Westerners may eventually have a stark choice... choose between an authoritarian far left "woke" dystopian theocracy or some manner of far right Christian/Muslim alliance religious dystopian theocracy. This assume the classical liberal types won't be strong enough to hold the middle ground and let's hope they can for all our sake. Otherwise it's going to be a matter of picking your poison.
