The religious beliefs of people who govern you, are very significant when 
they repeatedly say that their actions are guided by their religious 
beliefs, because that means that their beliefs aren't just a private 
matter, they're used to guide government policy.

If the religious beliefs are evil, then you have the very dangerous 
situation of a political leader firmly wedded to evil beliefs, and making 
policy according to those beliefs.

What you folks need, is a separation of church and state.
