   Much the same as many other religious movements try to gain.  They see a   
   world that they think is losing itself to corruption, and they want to save   
   the souls of that world by any means necessary.  Eventually, the means they   
   consider "necessary" become as bad as the original problem itself.   
      
   The whole point of the Caprica pilot and all of these "unlikeable"   
   characters is to demonstrate that the STO fanatics see before them a world   
   with no moral center that is almost beyond saving.
