I guess you missed that whole Henry VIII thing in history? Many pseudo religions have their roots in the rantings of a tyrant king who wanted a divorce.
A whole lot of folks very deliberately ignore large parts of history they can't rewrite to suit their agenda.
In that regard such folks are identical to the Communists and Fascists they claim to disagree with and are, in fact, perfect little clones of the Co Moomity Organizer in Chief when it comes to honesty and logic.
