So, it is a war on religion, but it can’t be helped, says Booman.

War on religion

Still, he here only sees it as about homosexuality and gay marriage.

Is he really that blind to the very much wider scope of the culture war?

Absolutely everything to do with the sexual revolution has had to be fought out at every step of the way against Christian conservatives and clergy who, also at every step of the way, have been fighting back to defend the established domination of the law and through it of our major social institutions by their religious beliefs.

And the same is true about battles over the meaning of the First Amendment establishment clause.

Abortion?

Pornography?

Lawful conditions of divorce?

What is a marriage and who can marry whom?

Can the Bible be taught in public schools?

Can or must evolution be taught there?

Can the Book of Genesis be taught there?

Can formal prayer be conducted in public schools?

Can the public high school football team pray at practice and before games?

Can the kid speaking for commencement at his public college graduation utter a prayer, or thank God?

Must employer insurance plans required under Obamacare included coverage for abortions or contraception?

Even when the employer is a Christian church opposed to both?

Can a state punish homosexual sodomy but not sodomy between heterosexual marrieds?

Can private adoption agencies refuse adoption to gays and still receive federal money to partially cover their costs of operation?

Can federal aid to private colleges go to those that are religiously affiliated?

Those that seek to imbue students with traditional Christian moral opinions regarding sex?

All of these are and have been battle-sites of the clashes between liberals and secularists on the one side and religious conservatives on the other since the middle of the last century and even earlier.

It is, exactly as Pat Buchanan famously said, a culture war not inaptly described as a “war against religion.”

Perhaps Booman and others like him have such a hard time seeing what is before all our eyes because they have fallen for their own liberal feminist propaganda and characterized many of the above battle-sites as belonging to a Republican war against women, a war for patriarchy and control of women’s bodies, women’s lives, and women’s choices.

More fool he.

Over the same time, other liberal victories not specifically related to religion have also affected matters related to sex.

Laws prohibiting racial intermarriage were abolished by fiat of liberal Supremes, for example.

And liberals have prevented efforts to limit the fecundity of people hopelessly dependent on public welfare or other forms of public assistance like food stamps, either through direct medical means (sterilization) or by imposition of limitations on aid available to oneself or one's dependent children.

Together, liberal measures of both sorts have had the clear effect of radically reducing the fertility of well-off women and radically increasing that of the sub-proletariat.

This is not a desirable demographic consequence, for many reasons, however desirable were the changes that got us to it.
