Separation of Church and State is a fundamental doctrine that is built into the government of almost nation today. Why? Because it’s necessary to maintain order and oh yeah, freedom too. Today Iran is the only functioning theocracy in the world today. That is to say that God is the supreme head of state, a religious man is head of the government on Earth, and a state religion is imposed upon the people who live there. Iran’s current leader is the Grand Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. As the leader of Iran he has supreme control of both the government and the armed forces. Jihad anyone? I’m not saying that Islam is an inherently violent religion; I’m just saying that there must be some reason why most theocracies were overthrown in popular insurrections during the Middle Ages.
