How We Can Win the Global Culture War.

This article focus on the culture war between people who have accepted modern science and people who do not. Modern science as a large-scale human enterprise is a very recent historical development, and until quite recently, very few people grasped its philosophical implications. The author observes that most Americans are aware of the conflicts between religious fundamentalists and those who oppose their God-centered worldview. These conflicts between and within cultures now seem to be occurring on a more global scale than ever before. All the examples in the article involve a struggle between tradition-minded people who cling to old religious ways and those who favor a more secular, science-oriented perspective on the world.
