I'm going to have to disagree with this at the moment.
It is not a battle between two ignorant sides. There is NO BATTLE. There is no culture crusade. Because when it comes right down to it, there are only a handful of non-religious people who give a damn religion at all.
Fundamentalist religions that continue to stick to their old ways and refuse to move with the times will always create political mayhem. There have always been faiths that refuse to move with the times, look at what happened in England's civial wars with the puritanicals and the loyalists.
There is no make-up required, no sides needing to shake hands and cool down. You don't see scientists (aside from Dawkins and co) trying to destroy religion. However you DO see religious pundits trying to halt scientific research and developments for their own beliefs.
There is no war on the faith. There is only a backlash against changing times from some faiths. Plenty have managed to make steps towards progress; for example the Catholic church no longer pushes the 'evolution is the DEVIL!' line of thought in mainstream sects.
Because lets face it. Science does NOT exist to disprove religion. Science doesn't give a DAMN about religion, ESPECIALLY considering the majority of scientists worldwide BELIEVE in one faith or another! (I can't link that but I'll see if I can find it later).

I don't have to give a damn about you to crush you.
Most people don't when they do.
