There is a particularly vocal subset of Christianity who really wants power, they remember when Christianity had power in the past and they want it back. Anything that messes with that power, anything that gets in the way of their undue influence, gets decried as discrimination and a war on Christianity.

These people are idiots.

There is nothing demonstrably true that religion can provide mankind that cannot be achieved as well or better through secular means.
