These people are dangerous and their thirst for power has them willing to "win at any cost".
For all of those here who are of faith but "the good kind", not that even that level of participation helps justify their actions as "holy", and therefore legitimate.
The fault lies not with "the good kind" of religious people, but with the non-religious people who ally with the extremists. And that includes a lot of the technical people in this forum. They are, broadly, techno-utopian extremists instead, and they reliably vote for the agenda of the religious extremists in hopes of furthering their own.
