We must make the overt, hateful, eliminationist bigotry of radical Islam and anti-Westernism TABOO again. We must ostracize these bigots out of polite society and our mainstream politics, as we did to defeat the KKK. Otherwise, their hate will continue to normalize until it spirals into violence and anarchy.

The foundation is that a true religion is one that invites believers and does not compel belief; that must be illuminated. To not understand this is folly and dangerous. Tyrants compel loyalty and obedience, but believers love-and want to share their faith through invitation.

True. But it's not only religions that can be tyrannical. There are atheists who are every bit as guilty.

The secular religion of Wokery lacks charity, grace, forgiveness and redemption- and hence contains all that was objected to in ‘organized religion’: censoriousness, harsh judgement , excommunication, denunciation and public stoning a là Internet.

Your last sentence is the key. Without faithfulness to God, all of the traditions and remembrances will leave a vacuum that leads to human failings. Both observant Jews and Christians realize God is in all and above all.
