Most will never see that side of the river, though... it's merely an aspirational goal to be warriors for their gods. Something you get together with your buddies once a week and say you're working on, each of you with the silent premise that the work will never be completed. They're more likely to opt in for political christianity than full throated domestic terrorism.
