From what I've perceived, the anti-religion SJW types in the workplace cause more "unsafe spaces" than any of the religious people I've ever worked with. The latter barely ever share their beliefs with others (unless asked), while the former constantly push their toxic beliefs on everyone within earshot.

(There probably exist enclaves even today where religion is dominant, wherein literal holier-than-thou shaming of the less-than-totally-devout acts similarly to today's shaming by SJWs.) Maybe someone will design a religion or ideology that would be resistant to being used for that kind of thing even if it becomes dominant. The fact that "tolerance" is such a central idea in social justice stuff, and yet here we are today, is evidence against this being possible... but I dunno, maybe there's an approach that would work. (Flying Spaghetti Monster? Some have said that humor—beyond "mocking the enemy"—is a good antidote to fanaticism.)
