"Those who would renegotiate the boundaries between church and state must therefore answer a difficult question: Why would we trade a system that has served us so well for one that has served others so poorly?" - Justice Sandra Day O'Connor (opinion on the display of the 10 commandments).Why indeed? Why; power - wealth - control.
As it is for EVERY single religious thing that goes on in this world, those are the motivations.
Because - in the end, if a person needs religion to be moral, that speaks volumes about the human condition, and shows an utter disdain for the humanity of our species.

I agree when people require so much assurance and assistance to live their daily lives and support their ideas/ideals via religion it places religion in the same category as drugs, alcohol and self help tapes.
