Whoever happens to hold the moral majority high ground at any given time in any given place will attempt to exert that authority over everyone they can at any opportunity. Basic flaw of human nature. It's not a matter of ideology; whatever ideology you happen to have, if your side has the ability to try to force it on people, they will try to do so.
