I would argue that's simply because they lack numbers. Both organizations proffer a "zero-tolerance" stance on their respective issues: clearly if given enough power they would make those stances the laws of the land. The fact that religion may be a more effective aggregator of power doesn't mean that these groups would be any less extreme should they somehow gain power.
