No, race cannot be your religion. Religion is a set of beliefs, values, and practices that are based on the teachings of a spiritual leader or a set of texts, and it often involves a belief in a higher power or divine being. Race, on the other hand, is a classification of people based on physical characteristics, such as skin color, hair texture, and facial features, which are determined by genetics and not by personal beliefs or practices.
While some people may strongly identify with their racial or ethnic group and may even incorporate elements of their culture or heritage into their religious practices, race itself is not a religion. It is important to respect and understand the differences between race and religion, and to avoid conflating the two.
The Japanese, American Indians, Vedic Indians, Zoroastrians, Ancient Romans and Greeks, ancient Egyptians, Hebrews would beg to differ.
That’s only if you believe race is just material and without a spiritual component.
