Because religious fundamentalism (be it Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Sikhism or whatever (even Jedi) is a vile thing to see.

In America Christianity is seen by extremists as an excuse to murder half the population and blow up, shoot or execute anyone with a different opinion. (see pro life boards).

In the East Islam is seen by extremists as an excuse to murder, blow up or execute anyone with a different opinion.

In India Hinduism is seen as an excuse (do we see a pattern emerging here).

Marx (Karl that is not Groucho) was right, religion is the opium of the masses.
