And in taking it that personally you've totally missed mine.
I wasn't saying you did. I was pointing out that it is prevalent among religions (different ones in different countries, Christianity here in the U.S.) to try to use the government to make their own brand of belief into law, to force others to abide by it, and to lament the loss of the "good old days" when they fail to get their way. They blame other religions, or the non-religious for the lack of morality as they see it, and then cheerfully murder, torture or on good days lock up those who don't agree with them, and cry "persecution" when anybody tries to stop them from doing so.
As I said, I see little difference between the way religions treat each other and the non-religious and what you decried as "radical cults all fighting for dominance."
