what i consider religious is beliefs rooted in faith not evidence

You're wrong. Religion is the systems (including rituals, congregations, and scriptures) revolving around the belief and worship of a supernatural higher power, mainly God and gods. Examples of religions are Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and Hinduism.

In addition: Your "Belief rooted in faith" red herring doesn't actually describe feminism either. Feminism is the advocacy for political, social, economic, and legal rights for women. No worship of supernatural deities are involved; the concept is secular in nature.

"Belief rooted in faith" is so vague a statement that it can mean everything from sports fandom, to what will happen next in a film or book series, to what you think you'll want to eat later. To call these things religions shows you have an incredible misunderstanding of one of the most commonly understood concepts in all human history. Or that you are aware you've been caught lying, and you'd rather instead come off as exceptionally ignorant or profoundly delusional.

"You're wrong."

i'm not, you just don't really comprehend how people interface with ideas and furthermore you have a very shallow understanding of religions like christianity, then again i can't blame you since the same applies to most people who follow then

your ignorance blinds you to the parallels between these different belief systems and that's how people end up poking fun at another group of people for believing one thing while their puppet master leads them down the path of believing even more ludicrous ideas

 

" Your "Belief rooted in faith" red herring doesn't actually describe feminism either. Feminism is the advocacy for political, social, economic, and legal rights for women."

ok can you list for me the rights women do not possess at this point in time? 

 

" No worship of supernatural deities are involved; the concept is secular in nature."

the deity they worship is the idea of equality between men and women being accomplished if only they could exert enough pressure on men through the state even though men and women are clearly not equal and can never be equal no matter what they do

its a religious doctrine and if you disagree with that then that's ok

 

" Or that you are aware you've been caught lying"

this is a bizarre claim, caught lying about what?
