We as humans will believe in something. If your ideology is antitheist in nature then you must create new idols to serve as spiritual and philosophical lighthouses for your worldview.
That being said I will be very impressed if a man on the street remembers Floyd's or even Ginsburg's name in ten years. Their corpses are useful tools for now, but once their utility is expended their names will be discarded.
You dont get to not have a religion, you just get to choose wether you're using a generation-1 ape man religion formed unconsciously as you pretend all your thoughts are original, or one thats been developing consciously and unconsciously to describe human meaning for fifty thousand years and built the greatest culture the earth has ever known.A disturbing trend I'm seeing among the more ideological Left is the deification of personas, whether that's Barack Obama, George Floyd, Ruth Bader Ginsburg or someone else. Unfortunately, it fits with the "cult of personality" and "Deification of the Superior Man (or Woman)" that's been all too common in Socialist countries and Marxist movements, replace the churches and whatever accepted religions exist among the populace with Socialist beliefs and tenets and make martyrs and deities out of chosen figures...North Korea one current and particularly infamous example.
And for the record, I have some Pagan leanings (my personal beliefs are a bit complicated), but this is one golden calf I refuse to kneel to.
