Actually the fight isn't as intense as people would like to believe. Christianity and religious fanaticism is slowly losing it's grip on Western civilization and the vocal minority is so desperate to stop this that they are screaming their final war cry louder than ever.
Religion will never die, but with the constant scientific advances and the unlimited access to information that people have it is becoming less relevant. The literalists are a dying breeed.
Most modern Christians use the Bible selectively as a guide on morality and not as a literal interpretation of the mythology. It would've saved humanity a lot of trouble if we had reached this point sooner.
