Which one is the subject in this sentence?

'The background from which and against which our ideas of God were formed, nature remains the supreme moral problem'.

I don't cleary understand the first sentence-'The background from which and against which our ideas of God were formed'. which one is the subject? 'The background'? or 'our ideas of
God were formed'? Could anyone tell me what is the subject and the exact meaning of the sentence as well?

Thank you,

'The background from which and against which our ideas of *** were formed' here the subject is "our ideas of ***" nature remains the supreme moral problem' the subject is "nature" 'The background from which and against which our ideas of *** were formed explains the word "nature" You could read the whole sentence as follows: Nature,(that is) the background from which and against which our ideas of *** were formed, remains the supreme moral problem. The original sentence would be clearer with a comma between "nature" and "remains".
