One of the great failings of representative democracy as it exists in most of the world, is that voters are only offered a choice between joining and voting for two great tribal lumps, called the left and the right. Which means that any voter who thinks, is forced into voting, if at all, for a whole range of things they will not agree with. Why add another item to the list.

And remember when mixing politics with religion; in most of Northern Europe where there are state churches, there is a largely secular population, while in the former soviet union where the state tried for many years to enforce secularism, the churches could hardly be stronger.
