I think it's delusional to think a religion based on the Hebrew bible and the book of revelations can ever be truly tame. It is only kept chained and caged by the strenghths of secular influences that, through falsity of its claim of access to the divine, it was unable to anticipate or suppress. That elements of it puts foremost the overthrow of the secular forces that has kept it tame is evident in every evangelical fundamentalist rant one sees on TV. What it could do when unleashed is made evident by what it did in the 1990s when it wasn't even completely unleashed in the heart of Europe, as Serbs murdered catholic, serbs murdered Muslims, and in 1940s when Catholics murdered Serbs, all by the tens of thousands, not to mention what it it has already done in school boards in the US.
While Christianity may be unwillingly tamed in the west, remember the goal of fundamentalist Christianity is to stage a resurgence in the global south, where the influence of the enlightenment is the weakest.
