That episode made me very sad...

That there are people that are still like that, that there are still countries that have no separation of church and state. It's sickening.
Two things: 1. These idiots are funded by American evangelicals --
these repressed idiots). Rick Warren only cut ties with them once the publicity over the
proposed death penalty for homosexuals legislation (Death penalty FFS! It's already illegal BTW) became too big to ignore (not while it was on the cards, just once it was being talked about widely, and even then it took him a while. The cockroaches sure don't like the light).
And as McSpunckle said

Sounds like you don't really have separation of church and state either (see
Texas, school curriculum, 2010)
There are those in your country who would love nothing more than turning your nice secular democracy into Saudi Arabia (except of course s/Allah/Jahwe).
This is what the dominionists are all about. Funny we haven't heard much from Ted Haggard on the subject lately have we?
These people would be funny if they weren't so well funded, and serious about it. A pox on all their houses.
