Even if you cast aside Religious belief it is still a fact that in some sense all politicians and office holders impose their other beliefs or value systems on others, overtly or covertly. It is unavoidable.

Just ask Tony Blair.

Why ask TB? he never failed in an attempt not to impose his beliefs.

but the fact that to some extent you will fail if you do try doesn't mean you don't want someone who believes its inherently the wrong thing to do.

Its why AC is attractive but its a fine ideal in a normal democracy as well. Essential ideal imo.
