tbh, I've always been a bit annoyed when Australia is described as having been settled by "Europeans", which makes it sound as though it was the Belgians or someone, not the English. That said, in this context, "the West" and "Abrahamic religions" (and "militant atheism") are so close to synonymous as makes no bones.
Militant atheism = militant anti-Christianity. Everyone else is fine.
Not quite: the Brights stick it to Islam as well, though not so much to Judaism, 'cos they know a safe target when they see one.
