Whilst religion is part of every nation, the Muslim brotherhood used it wrong to catapult to power.
The expectations of the people were that they were going to revive the economy. On one hand the Muslim brotherhood aimed at establishing an Islam state. This they did by drawing up a constitution that was suitable for that. By this they got it all wrong hence their downfall.
In a nutshell, they did not have a proper constitution to run Egypt. In the first place political parties should not assume names of any religion. This helps to eradicate impartiality in the running of any country.
For example ,you cannot establish a political party called Christian brotherhood. This would be too obvious that the aim of that political party would be to further christian faith tenets[principles].
At a closer look ,the Muslim brotherhood was a pressure group which aimed at cherishing or establishing Islam values and doctrines in Egypt. There is nothing wrong with this, but they got it wrong by intertwining their ideology with politics.
At the moment the happiest person is Mubarak. In other words its victory for him because the revolution did not breed any good results.
