There's little or no difference...
...between "It's for the good of the future state utopia we are trying to create!" and "It's for the good of your immortal soul".

In fact, I'm inclined to think that the only difference is semantic. It's one person thinking they know best for another and using their belief structure to justify their actions - the actual set of beliefs doesn't matter, except in the wording of the excuse.
