That is actually what I love about the high sparrow. He is universally hated, for sticking it to one of the most universally hated families on the show (Lannisters)
Also, despite the religious context, the High Sparrow seems to want to overthrow the established order. Authoritarianism and Absolute Monarchy. He accepts that all are equal - something we hold dear in our present era. It's quite interesting that we all actively cheer against his ideals vs. those of a 12 year old monarch and his incest parents.
That is what makes this show great I suppose.
