I think some of us are sort of insulted by religion. That is why we don't enjoy someone so radical making a grasp for power. We believe, not only that religious values that we don't sympathize with will be imposed on us, but that a society of people who believe they are destined for better things (and thus look down upon the other-believers) will have power and will corrupt what we have spent over 2 centuries building. And there is no argument against the notion that a country under religious rule will cause misery to those who are not of that religion. There simply cannot be from any sane person an argument.
