One former Baha'i wrote that the Baha'i faith can become an oppressive dictatorial theocratic cult.

The Baha'i Faith basically has two distinct phases with a very clear tipping point for when the switch is to take place. Sen McGlinn was disenrolled from the Faith for writing an argument that the Faith was compatible with the idea of separation of church and state and the UHJ issued a letter around this time affirming the Baha'i Faith's goal is theocracy.

They argue that non participation in politics is a principle for unity's sake, but state that the Baha'is will rewrite national constitutions and impose Baha'i governments once the majority of a country's population is Baha'i, since the country will then voluntarily adopt the Faith as a national religion!

Baha'i Faith is this new age tolerant hippy religion for self preservation, but the moment it has enough people it is designed to morph into an oppressive dictatorial theocratic cult.
