I'm not accusing you of that (in fact I literally said that you understand its not that), but I'm guess you're ignorant of how that is how it is taught in the British curriculum. The motif you're talking about Alan Moore using - the Gunpowder plot and therefore Guy Fawkes wanting to replace the noble British monarchy with a foreign theocracy - relies entirely on that context. British history is carefully curated with "that was a foreign plot and the British nation bravely survived it" vs "a foreign ally saved and restored our glorious nation". For many, the presence of Catholicism is one of the primary deciding factors in that.
Are you usually this unable to take criticism without insulting people? (Yes, daily)
