Most of them would be secular Muslims, some of who have experienced theocracies and know what that means.
It doesn’t matter if it’s Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, etc - it’s a concentration of power which leads to the persecution of minorities and power of faith - or abuse thereof.
That’s why secularism is a seat at the table for everyone, where shared morals and values (which are plenty) are the focus rather than giving preference to any one form of faith.
That’s what separation of church and state is really all about. A separation of powers.
