I’ve spoken on the need for warriors religions on our side before. Men fiercely devoted to the gods, with fire and fervor to not let the injustices against their people stand. Recent events have only reaffirmed this belief. You will not win a civil war with the type of man we have now. You will need tough and ruthless men. Clannish and intolerant to the extreme. The most intolerant always wins, the left demonstrates this daily.
This is an incredibly important topic, and I hope you and others will continue to write on it.
In my opinion, the primary task is to reinvent a Nobility or Patrician class- one that is in touch with the artistic and aristocratic traditions of their people/nation as much as they are with the physical and martial disciplines.
We should not arm a people who are not prepared to understand and defend a proper cultural archetype.
As Arthur Powell says below, Americans have no lack of interest in firearms, combat sports, outdoor skills, etc. What we do lack is the characteristic gracefulness, on many levels, that comes with the balance of cultivating a solid intellect as well as physical prowess.
In other words, I will never follow any man into battle who cannot recite poetry, who is unfamiliar with Western Canon and our traditional composers, who lacks a respect for the natural world and our resources and ecosystem, who has not rejected the conventional food industry, and so on.
Not everyone is able to be a warrior - the caste is largely broken in our lineage and fragments arise. Warrior castes and sects might arise but as the men today the best way to do that is to lay the groundwork around martial culture.
America is RICH in martial culture - wrestling is still a huge sport in many places. BJJ is growing in popularity, MMA continues to grow as well. We also have strong shooting cultures - competitive shooting suffers from too many fatties with good shooting skills and not enough others but it exists. This competitive realm of violence.
There are more questions than I have answers...
How do you prevent these martially inclined men from becoming co-opted by the Regime as cops and soldiers?
How do you get them through an increasingly pacified world where violence in society is cracked down upon ruthlessly from a political angle (leftists can commit all the violence, but rightists can't)?
If you are interested in Martial communities look into the number of high level MMA fighters that come out of Dagestan. Small, poor communities that lack the modern strength and conditioning programming and support that make American athletes great, yet produce some of the most, athletic, brutal and skilled peoples on the planet, moulded by the mountains and trained by their fathers, closest thing we have to Fremen
I think the idea of a new religion - one built on discipline and stoic value - is one that some of us should come together not only to think about but also to actually begin to construct. To withstand the cultural forces at hand, the mocking, jeers, and devaluation, we have to stop looking for answers in this world. The war is now spiritual and the answers must be transcendent.
Most religions with roots in what we suspect was the Indo-European theological framework are warrior religions, well suited to the task. While Christianity has had its warrior-religion moments, I still consider it a religion for the desert peoples and no longer useful to the West. Rather, re-examining all European Paganism would be wise, useful, and provide direction for those seeking it.
I agree in that I don’t see Christianity as answer to current decay, rather it may be its cause. One day however, Christians may redeem their religion.

Someday I’d like to elaborate more on this.
Yes, any kind of warrior religion that forms must have connection to its culture and knowledge of history.
It should however, strive to have never before seen new form

Yes there is many great questions in this I must think about.
Martial culture is definitely a must. What a warrior religion needs is some isolation in the beginning. Has to stay under the radar.
It obviously cannot be introduced as some antithesis of leftism as globohomo will set its eyes on it to corrupt.

Paul Waggener has already kinda achieved this with operation werewolves.

I, for one, am interested in working on this
Men do need a Great Work to devote themselves to whereas our modern world only offers the non spiritual path.
