Religion, despite its eternal concerns, has never been shy about
wanting to wield temporal power, and does so today in many nations in the East, and certain conservative factions of religion would be happy to do so in the West. Whereas more liberal theists, and certainly non-theists, feel such theocratic power does nothing but
damage to liberty, human rights, and the unfettered pursuit of knowledge"
