The High Sparrow has been a wild success in terms of villainy. I doubt many were expecting Jonathan Pryce to be in such a commanding position at this point, but there he is, puppeteering the realm with a flutter of his rags.

Cersei is obviously defiant even in her lowest ebb, but a return to the top would coincide with the death of the High Sparrow, though it wouldn't be the end of the matter.

While Margaery's loyalties are murky, Tommen genuinely believes the Faith are the way forward. Cersei killing the Sparrow could lead to an incredibly messy situation with her son, but isn't that what Thrones is meant to offer?
