They're not even in the fight, because they can't provide anything that fits the slim available evidence.

They appear to think they are in the fight, and more than that, they seem to think they won a big victory with the Hobby Lobby case.

You're confusing law with science. Law can rule in whichever way it wants to, regardless of what the scientific evidence actually says. Law is nothing more than rules which provide order to society. There's nothing to say that those rules must be scientific or based on science or fair; all that matters is that they are enforced. It's easier to think of law as the ever-evolving rules to a non-ending board game, where each turn may be governed under different rules than the last.

Theists, like everyone else, can be in that fight. After all, law is our subjective thought turned into objective rules and objectively enforced.
