The problem is when the cult gets too big and too powerful and insists that everyone else join the cult and that the government bends to the cult's will.
Many people generally want to impose their strong views on others, and on society in general. Whether you're Republican, Democrat, religious, atheist, etc - doesnt matter which. That just tends to be human nature. Wouldn't you prefer everyone to be atheist and liberal? You vote Democrat and youve tried to argue people out of opinions they have that you don't share, right?
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
