Why did we want to stop the Taliban? Because they were imposing their strict brand of religion, which included promotion of terrorism.
I would argue that we cared a great deal more about their complicity with the group that killed 2,977 civilians in a terrorist attack. The war in Afghanistan wasn't a religious war by any stretch from our perspective. We weren't trying to spread Christianity.
@aqua-letifer I agree with you 100% that the US would not care less about religion in Afganistan.
I was going back a step. The basis for the Taliban was religion. That was the "trunk" of the tree.

And if it was a religious war, it would be convert or die.

If I recall, "Talib" meant "scholar" or "student," particularly with respect to religion.
"Taliban" is the association of such scholars.
