I don't know much about the Jehovah's Witness religion, but I am quite familiar with the religion of The Party and secularism, which seem to be link such that each requires the other.
The inherent conflict of secularism is that it exhibits all the negative traits of a religion that the average secularist or athirst claim are why they have rejected traditional religions. It requires fanatical dedication to the cause, unwavering faith in the "church" (party) leadership, and unquestioning loyalty. This leads to amazing things, like self-proclaimed liberals who are completely intolerant of anyone expressing a different view, who must demonize all that do not conform, and can't even consider an alternate explanation or allow even asking questions perceived to challenge their desired narrative "deniers", demonstrating closed minds to any alternate possibilities. And even more amazing things like these same people explaining why free speech is bad and self-identified Jews endorsing disarmament, and suppression of political opponents using extreme measures like declaring them insurrectionists and imprisoning them without due process of law.
