Many religious people reject the centuries of hard grafting put in by their ancestors, and would prefer to return to a monoculture religious dictatorship based on old books of myths. This is similar to, for example, why strict muslims attack democracy. Funnily enough, Islam once lead the world in science, but the fell back due to the plague, the reconquest of Spain, and Attilla the hun destroying Baghdad."
Other people and groups are also attacking democracy, some of them here in the USA.
