Very interesting read. One data point you may miss is the people like myself who leave religion because of the culture war. I was just complacently trundling along enjoying the community until our local Catholic bishop started insisting on the culture war, hating on gays and women, while insisting the Church was above the law on child abuse. All it takes is a little step back to break the illusion. The war will, however, get louder as their position weakens. It is still depressing to see a President of my generation forced to play the religion game.
