Essay on theocracy

You cannot have a unique faith under the structure of a theocracy. Although some theocracies may suggest that you can believe anything you want if you are willing to follow the structure of the law, the foundational scriptural elements of the government would suggest otherwise.

Whereas to another one, theocracy can occur in any society where a powerful religious group or combination of religious groups has/have the decisive voice in a ruling political or judicial system. [ 4] On the contrary, some believe that the Islamic Republic is just “one kind among so many democracies” [ 5] or “one of the most democratic states.”

Theocracy, too, derived from two Greek words meaning “rule by the deity”, was the name given to political regimes that claim to represent the Divine on earth both directly and immediately. Most governments throughout history and across cultures have claimed to be following their gods’ designs or to be legitimated by a divine mandate.

When a government is structured as a theocracy, then the spiritual and physical needs of a society come together under the same governing umbrella. Even though there are different opinions that are accepted under this structure, everyone feels like they are on the same team.
