I think part of the problem is that most educated people from, say, the U.S., and most of the Muslim world, are a bit ticked off about the way religion is mixed with politics in their countries. I believe that some have come to see religion as a "mistreat women, gays, people with unconventional lifestyles, etc. because God says so" club. While frustration at people who abuse their religion to justify intolerant political policies is understandable, it's a shame when this frustration is taken out on *all* religion.
