the exact problem is that they've come to embrace religious pluralism as a collection of trivial differences, and the exact reason they got to this point is that they're a lot of smug, upper class atheists that refuse to take the threat of religion seriously.

now, we have a developing problem with the return to a religious society, which is in a direct conflict path with the total collapse of religion in the native-born population.

and, this is going to be the political spectrum of the future: white atheists with liberal perspectives vs brown theists with conservative ones.

of course, i'm not suggesting mutual exclusion. but, that's going to be the basic division. and, it's going to be racial and cultural because the brown theists will insist that it must be, as the white atheists insist that it can't be.

the new political axis is science v faith.

and neither side wants to bridge that gap and get along.
