I am sure you mean 'It's sad that', but the typo of 'dad' also works: lots of people want a big strong paternal father figure to make all the hard decisions, bear all the responsibility, be unquestioningly respected.

Its also the same impulse for deference to an omnipotent, infallible sky-daddy God.

Many, many tradtional, religious conservatives have been and still are defined by submission to and preservation of a hierarchy of father figures throughout all of society.
