      Tell that to Palestine.

      All three mostly keep to themselves, until they’re the dominant religion in a given area, then they go into full on theocracy.

          First off when people talk about theocracy they don’t mean that there is literally no secular government anymore than they when they talk about capitalism that there are no civil servants. It isn’t a black and white you are a theocracy or you are not deal.

          Secondly yeah it is a theocracy. Sure there are elections but that doesn’t mean that religion doesn’t have a way oversized presence in government than it should have. Just look at the crazy weird legal stuff required for gay marriage there, you want to get gay married in Israel you need to do it on zoom with a company in Utah of all places.

          Good for not street preaching. You get one point. Don’t waste it.
