The Baha'i Faith fails to attract Americans because of a stifling community culture: only Persians (who have many good qualities, but are also superior and materialistic) and Progressives (political) are valued and appreciated. Conformity is demanded. In spite of its claimed openness to all and future unity of mankind, I found it narrow-minded and dominated by a few, older, judgmental individuals in each community who appropriated long-term positions (secretary, chairman, treasurer). "No clergy" does not translate into "no dictators". I appreciate the personal growth I found in the time I was a Baha'i, but now I see it as an unhealthy splinter that attracts individuals who find justification for a narcissistic superiority over non-Bahais.
