Those who are adherents and uncompromising followers are being compromised by a variety of various interest groups ranging from plutocrats who are driven by greed, politicians who are dependent of exploiting their offices to religious fanatics who are convinced that their mission is divinely inspired. Everyone of these are willing to sacrifice the fellow citizens freedoms for their own selfish gains.
