Christian Fundamentalism as a political force, died with the election of Trump. It's non-religious, secular right wing influences that seem to be on the rise everywhere. That and folks on the far left, and the politics of resentment that fuels them.
Pretty much all the prominent atheist figures have abandoned the fight against religion, and more obsessed about the culture wars, feminism, pc culture, etc...
You need to get with the times.
I'm in the 'times' when Right Wing Christian Fundamentalists are at their peak of power, and getting harmful legislation passed at an unprecedented rate. You seem to already be dwelling in a future where that's no longer the case. I live in South Carolina, dwelling in the future isn't a realistic option for me.
There's only two religious political issues that are even remotely connected to Fundie Christianity, and that's abortion, and gay marriage. Opposing gay marriage has been losing battle, and at this point they've just hold it as immoral, and don't want to forced to bake cakes for gay people, or be able to hold the views that it's immoral, without being penalized for it.
The other is abortion. And that's been consistently in conflict, and as divided as it always been. Different people disagree on when people should be able to have abortions, whether it's only in extreme situations, only up to a certain trimester, etc... some people on the far left think you should be able to choose to have an abortion at any stage even lates stages of the pregnancy for whatever reason you choose. So it's not surprising this issue always going to be in contention.
None of these are hardly any real threat to society. We only do anything about it, every 4 years, when we come into vote. ,
