Like I said, the culture with a strong religious core and a strong embracing of technology to protect their culture may come out supreme when all is said and don.
Nope, knowledge is far superior then any religious militray power. Such civilizations always fail. Cultrues based on knowledge and tolerence are superior. Maybe not alone, I live in Sweden and can't say we have a strong military defence since there are almost none. However were a part of the EU and we have alot of "allies". We would get help from so many since we are friends them.
An attack from Israel against any country outside their terriotory would make them everyones enemy.
Also to have a culture with a stonrg religious core is likely to some day crack and fall apart. With a culture like mine that evolves and get influences by others will make the civilazation grow and survive. That's not the case with a strongly religious culture.
