Well, for years those advocates did so with censorship, gaslighting, destruction of property, threats and calls for violence, etc. They had a hysterical fervor and lack of rationality that did often seem quasi religious. I dont think Paul's understanding is perfect but the parallels to religious puritanism are quite obviously there.

Of all the ways of attacking a class of people, labeling them as gaslighters while at the same time calling them crazy is certainly one of them.

They protested Starbucks all year after hallucinating some connection between the company and the Israeli invasion in Palestine. Irrational is a fine description. And a good example of the gas lighting is them saying wokeness doesn’t exist.
