Yes I was raised in a very religious household.
Just because words are used in rituals does not make them rituals or somehow owned by religion. Candles, flowers, clothing, furniture, food. All these things are used in rituals. Does that make them inherently religious? Do Christians own wine because it's used in church every week?

Oh well if you and the clergy agree it must be true.
Please explain how pronouns are a ritual. Rituals are ceremonies or rites. How can a word be a ceremony or rite? Be specific. Site examples of pronouns being used as a ritual, since you apparently know the last 5000 years of religious history.

Just because you say it doesn't make it true. Pronouns are not a religious ritual. They are words we use in place of someone's name.

Language is dynamic and is always changing. None of the pronouns you use today were around when the Bible was written.
Also please explain how religion gets to have ownership of language

Lmao thinking religion owns fucking pronouns. Do the banks own adverbs?

What does that have to do with telling parents if their kids use different pronouns at school?

If that's what you have been trying to say, you've done a terrible job of explaining it.
I'll make it easy for you though, it's not a religion. No one worships trans people or pronouns. Yes beliefs have changed but you're not protected from hearing other people's beliefs.
