Answer 10

It would be nice if you could tell us who this "they" is that Christians are defending. This question is too vague give some examples.

Answer 11

By definition of their religion Christians are fascinated by power and authority. Public figures give the impression that they have attained power of some sort.

Another reason, which relates to the politicians only, is that they want to monopolise politics so they can introduce fundamental laws, squash individual thought, and create a Christian utopia.
