Theocracy is rooted in the submission of human will. And is anti intellectual and personal freedom.
Historically used to enslave and murder my people for centuries. It is used to hold my gender back from equal social status. And to dehumanize anyone LGBTQ.

Faith should be ones guide to keep you sane, in light of the fact that we humans have no real control of our existence. Some are born with the ability to realize early on "it is what it is." But many more need reassurance that there is a point to our existence.
This was supposed to be where faith has its primary purpose. To give comfort and guidance to our fragile existence. But just like anything humanity makes, it can be corrupted by power. Especially when you convince people to never question said power.
Serfdom and Slavery were systems built off Theocracy upheld by a Monarchy. I always thought it was crazy that we still have Monarchs, until I realized how many use organized faith to hold power. Some of the most wealthiest organizations in the world are ran by churches.
These same churches historically have called for the subjugation of humans based off their myopic view of whose is worthy. And they reveal in creating "good soldiers and flocks" who only need to hear they are better than the heathens. And have an automatic place in paradise.
It is insidious how cult like and controlling it is. And sadly and depressingly understanding at the same time. Extreme religion makes its bank off our desires to live beyond our mortal existence. To make sense of why we are here. Sadly this leaves us vunerable to those...
Who only wish to empower and enrich themselves. Why settle for a hypothetical afterlife of paradise, when you can rule over a monetary driven mortal life right now? And the best part is you actually convince folks to sustain you by convincing them of the hypothetical paradise.
This is why so many of us are warning about the influential power of faith based politics. The strangle hold it has world wide is staggering. And its continued control over politics and leadership will insure that any progress for humanity comes with a hefty toll.
