The Anglo-Boer war was framed as a clash of competing secular theologies.

Evidence

The Anglo-Boer conflict. A civil war. A millennial struggle with global implications, fought out on a local stage. A fight between Europeans, one group still wedded to the farm, the other committed to urbanizing industrialization. One deity the lord of the land, the other the godless deity of gold and glitz. — David Theo Goldberg, The Threat of Race, 1477
