Perhaps to be part of an organized religion means you are often in complete denial of science and you also don't realize that churches were created in order to maintain a happy dirt poor working class so that they could build the self appointed religious leader's fortunes and extravagant lifestyles and not get pissed off about it and revolt because they had the promise of an afterlife.
Or the fact these 'holy' institutions could use the working class for their wars and missions in an attempt to spread their power to other nations, costing countless lives.
Organized religion is still based largely off of these principles in a more humane way, and political influence is huge on the agenda of many churches.
So no surprise that religious people are politically active. It's the purpose of their institution.
I'll pass.
