I see that as a battle of two individuals who are locked into egoic identity, identified with their limited relative existence, one believing he is separate from unbounded, eternal Divinity, and the other denying the existence of unbounded, eternal Divinity. In the state of identity with the plane of ever-changing, uncertain, relative existence, people tend to seek security in some construct of this plane that has the appearance of absoluteness (e.g. science) or has been arbitrarily declared absolute (e.g., religion). And, to maintain this pseudo-security, the ego-mind engages in battle, desperately trying to recruit others and maintain the illusion of its chosen construct's absoluteness and validity above all other constructs.
