The cultural leadership is being driven secular, and they ruthlessly exclude anyone whom they perceive as dangerously religious.
But the leadership remains out of touch with the broad masses of ordinary people. It's well known that America is a religious country, and if anything it has been getting more religious over the past few decades. At some point, something will have to give, because the leaders and the money people are determined to drive everything one way, but the people instinctively resist.
It's symbolically noticeable in someone like Jean Kerry and his wife. They are both effectively Communists, but they are also rich elitists, effete snobs of the worst kind. How long will it be until people sit up and notice that it's not the Republicans who are the elite, moneyed snobs, but the "revolutionary" Democrats? The rich, the privileged, the leadership cadres, all pretending to be on the side of the "people."
A hopeful - and historically new - tool for combat in this war is the role of readily available mass-level inter-communications and networking, such as represented on this forum. In the past, the rich and powerful controlled this so could control the agenda and drift of battle through their near-monopoly power of information which greatly enhanced their size and influence.
However, they no longer have this monopoly and unless the government or the UN gain control of the Internet are unlikely to regain it. One of the next major battles of this war will be fought in that realm. It has been simmering for years. Totalitarian lies cannot exist with a free flow of information and views.
