Theocratic society

A theocratic society is one in which religious leaders or principles directly shape government laws, policies, and leadership. In such a system, religious authorities hold political power, and many laws are based on religious doctrine. The society often aims to unify religious beliefs with civic life, making religion central to governance and public institutions. Examples include historical contexts like ancient Egypt or modern-day Iran, where religion and state are closely intertwined, guiding social conduct, legal systems, and leadership selection.
