Judaism if true, started with political leadership and religious leadership combined (Moses).
I rather tackle the root of the issue (religion) then try to suppress religion out of politics.
I say this while I know Islamic theocracy would kill me for my apostasy (since they tend to ignore Quran when authentic hadith teach something else).
I say this while I know religious laws often go against human rights. I rather tackle the root of the issue (religion), then try to force the majority to be dishonest with their beliefs.
If we live in a Theocracy, how then will you openly oppose the prevailing religion?
How will you convince people that they are in error for their beliefs when you are not allowed to speak against those beliefs?
I think you have the steps in the process in the wrong order.
