The end of days: a self-fulfilling prophecy

I wonder how a specialist of the Reformation can in the end hope that the United Kingdom could be a bridge between the "real old Europe" of the US Christian fundamentalists and Europe. He of all people should know that there can´t be any bridge building until the religious fervor has been exhausted by wars and spilled blood. In the pre-modern Europe the Reformation unleashed wars that raged 130 years before people confessing different branches of Christianity were weary enough to live side by side. And now the US must be defeated, maybe several times, so that it´s foreign policy goals don´t succeed - and then they maybe weary enough to embrace a more secular worldview.
