For the moment, the temptation is for the European right to find its “new look” through a selective appeal to religion – and wait and see whether it works as an electoral strategy. They should remember, though, that starting a Kulturkampf is to play with fire: it might be possible to instrumentalize religious passions for a time; but such passions cannot permanently be controlled from above.
目前来看，欧洲右翼党派忍不住要借选择性的回归宗教塑造自己的“新面貌”，而后等着看这招作为选举策略是否有效。但他们应该记住：挑起一场文化斗争实际是在玩火。虽然有可能在一时间借助宗教热情为自己所用，但这样的热情不可能永远受到自上而下的控制。
