OK, so you're living in the greatest secular democracy on earth, founded by far-sighted men of enlightened views, both Christian and atheist (hello, my avatar) and deliberately set up so that religion is an entirely personal matter that the state should both not interfere with and not promote. Now this chap nobody heard of five minutes ago thinks that should be thrown in the bin, and he's running for President*.
Actually, he's apparently freaked out even US evangelicals with this bit of theocratic treason.
* Of the USA, rather than Iran, in case anyone's confused. They'd like him there.
