Religious people who had been slightly skeptical about the idea of the war on religion, may buy in to it when the government takes steps to actually impose on religions (rather than just to keep religions from imposing on others). Attitude depends a lot on whose ox is gored. I have a big problem with those who don't see that things can cut both ways. When I see understanding of how it feels to be on the wrong side of religions imposing on others, then I will be more actively supportive. That understanding will only be demonstrated when there is a realization that what is happening is not a war on religion. I do understand your strategy point, though. ...much less about theoretical possibilities that are very unlikely to go anywhere. To the extent the religious right has any power, its primarily defensive power. I don't disagree that they have lost some steam, but I don't see how what was in place just a few years ago can be dismissed so cavalierly as unlikely. Momentum can change on a dime. Giving up recent progress is not something I'm willing to risk..
