That's your personal takeaway; but I don't think it follows that if religions aren't democratic, relgious people shouldn't be allowed to participate in democracy. The US military isn't democratic, and leans about 72% to the right; but I absolutely want servicepeople to be able to vote.
Well, OK, if you don't mind a democracy that's poisoned.
It would be more poisonous if religious people and service people weren't allowed to vote. I wouldn't consider a country that restricted voting on those critera to be a real democracy. It's not much of a democracy if people aren't allowed to vote based on ideology or religion; that is, on who they disagree with.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
