Yes, theism is definatley a culture war. But theism has thousands of years of experience with culture war. Atheists who are 18 years old or 25 do not. I think a lot of them are suckered into a political movement that they don't really understand, despite how many books by Richard Dawkins they feel they have read.
Life is war, all societies have wars. I think America has too many of them. I am on this board to do spiritual warfare, I am not posting because I am interested in atheism. I am not anything in myself, but my ideas don't come from myself, they come from God. The same cannot be said about a 27 year old "ethicist" who creates his own "ethical system" that tells him how to live, and creates his own theology out of pure reason. That is a totally different thing. But there is culture war involved in that, it is not just the 27 year old, it is many different social and political movements that want to lead people different ways to suit their own ends.
This is the way that the world works. To what you submit your mind to obey, to that thing you are its slave.
