It's easy for religous zealot leaders to motivate and organize religous zealots, so they can make concerted efforts, whether in speech or violence, to promote their viewpoint. And if they have a prominent voice, they can accuse others of not being religious enough, which can turn people who aren't zealots, but still have a feeling that more religious is better, against those targets.

I hope Egypt's military allows a true representative government, but if they do, then the Egyptians are going to have a huge job cut out for them. The theocrats will never stop trying to take over.
