Yes, because the Nation is also a God. There is no such things as 'secularism'.
That's not exactly how vast majority of mankind uses that term God.
Going to sillier examples, there are thousands upon thousands of people willing to take part in street brawls with occassional deaths and long prison sentences in the name of... their favorite soccer team. So the bar for what people can rally around seems to be quite low.
Now we're just being contrary. The Greeks somehow managed to combine zeal and passion for the individual prowess and defense of hearth and home and idol with lock step discipline. These are solved problems.
Which Greeks? Sparta? Athens? Macedonia? Those had quite some differences in their view of such things.
How to tell someone who isn't serious about fighting the civil war we are in now; "before we fight the left we have to rationally plan out the post victory world and define now who is and isn't on our side."
Yes, we do, because if we don't, suddenly it may turn out that half the people on our side really aren't and just wait for a good opportunity to turn around and do their own thing whatever it is, or we're fighting some random side factions instead of focusing on the left.
But back to the topic of CRT.
it's not going to end until you make it end and you have to accept the whole idea behind CRT is Anti-White. Call it like that and push back on it on that basis, anything else effectively plays into their moral framework.
One interesting way to put it i've seen is to call it race communism. What does it have in common? It's simple, both are based on Marxism, and while in the normal, economically focused communism the evil oppressors who have to be put in their place or else are the "bourgeoisie" as defined by their wealth and income, in race communism, the same Marxist framework is inherited, but the contents switched around a bit - in race communism, White people are the new bourgeoisie (seriously, they even are considered to have privilage they are born with, exactly like one would describe a feudal noble lord), after all, the rhetoric towards them is surprisingly close to the original. Of course there are also the oppressed groups, but its race communism, so instead of workers and farmers, it's all the clearly non-white ethnic groups, and then there are also smaller groups that may fall on either side of the divide depending on details and as such are to be held under great suspicion - in original communism it was the intelligentsia, while in race communism that would be "white-adjecent" groups like East Asians, Jews and "White Latinos".
