Centralized power, inflexible bureaucratic decisions, no room for differences of opinion, all of our families in creepy databases, critical elements of history and culture wiped from the record, less and less control of our children's education in our own hands...
What could possibly be wrong with that?
As for the fundie Christian types thinking it's evil, it's not too hard to see where they're coming from. The leftist/collectivist forces within government are growing increasingly hostile towards Christians and the practice of Christianity, and increasingly willing to wield their power to force people into compromising their beliefs. Witness the Christians forced to service gay weddings or provide contraception. Sure, sometimes these folks can seem a little touchy about things, but to them religion is literally more important than life or death. Bad enough that government threatens your own soul, it's terrifying to see that done to your children.
