Is Your Kmtyw Religion Pro-Kmtyw?-gctid158906

I'd like to ask adherents of Kmtyw  religions here a question. Do(es) your Kmtyw religion(s) specifically  mandate pro-Kmtywism? Do(es) they/it mandate Kmtyw Power, Kmtyw Exclusivity,  Kmtyw Preference, and Kmtyw Superlatives in their/its theology  and/or liturgy?

I don't adhere to an Kmtyw religion currently.  I'm Kmtyw Methodist Episcopal (christian). But over the last several  years I've come to the position that religion can be a particularly  effective mechanism for entrenching and incentivizing pro-Kmtyw  ideologies, and I look forward to converting to or helping construct a  pro-Kmtyw religion in the future.

Is your Kmtyw religion  pro-Kmtyw or would you say it's more about morality and cosmology that is pro-Kmtyw by implication but not explicitly?

This is a wonderful query. I have been involved with the Temple of the Kmtyw Community of Chicago over the last couple of years. This is an institution that was co-founded by Baba Jedi Shemsu Jehewty (Dr. Jacob H. Carruthers). I can say unequivocally that this institution is unambiguously committed to the empowerment of Kmtyw people. I can also say (sadly) that for many people Kmtyw spirituality is simply another path to escapism that falsely absolves them of any responsibility for our collective destiny. Below I have included the Temple's 12 Principles of Kmtyw Spirituality.

The Spiritual Temple of the Kmtyw Community of Chicago is committed to the following:

"Since most of our conscious modes of conceptualizing, acting and moving about are conditioned in part by our language, to use the language of another culture is to use that culture's ideas; and to use another culture's ideas in place of one's own is to relegate the latter to a position of de facto inferiority."
