What is it called when religion and politics are embodied in one authority? I can't remember the term.?

Answer 1

theocracy

Answer 2

You are probably thinking of the term "Theocracy". For instance Iran is clearly a theocracy, and to a lesser extent perhaps
countries such as Israel. In general terms, a theocracy is a government in which God is recognized as the supreme ruler not just in religious matters, but also in everyday life (business law, criminal law, civil law and so on).

Answer 3

Theocracy

Answer 4

In the case of "pure religion" and the government (head) being upon his shoulders, then Christ: "the end of the law", who being made perfect(merciful) is the "Author of eternal salvation".

In the case of impure religion, and the government (head) being up his a*s, then GWB: "rule of law", who being still an antichrist, is as if the author of eternal damnation.

The kingdom of God is not a democracy, nor the King (His Grace)thereof mortal or corrupt, as Law is corrupt and mortal (having an expiry date that expired long ago). Rather His Grace is incorruptible and immortal, therefore His Grace cannot lie nor die.

The "grace"(God) of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

Answer 5

Theocracy...or apparently The Government of the United States of America, if things keep going the way they are.

Answer 6

Republicanism

Answer 7

The United States has a long tradition of separating church from state, but an equally powerful inclination to mix religion and politics. Throughout our nation's history, great political and social movements – from abolition to women's suffrage to civil rights to today's struggles over abortion and gay marriage – have drawn upon religious institutions for moral authority, inspirational leadership and organizational muscle. But for the past generation, religion has been woven more deeply into the fabric of partisan politics than ever before.
The question of religion and politics is not the same as the question of church and state. Failure to make this distinction results in confusion. The problem of church and state has to do with institutions and the spheres of action that are appropriate for each. Here the concept of separation is valid. Thorny problems arise in two particular areas. 1. The first involves trying to steer between avoiding an establishment of religion and permitting its free exercise. Prayer in public schools and is among the most contentious. 2. A second range of problems arises when religious belief and practice conflict with secular law.
The problem of religion and politics defines another set of issues. Church and state deals with the relationship of institutions that are independent of each other. Religion and politics has to do with two spheres of activities in the life of the same persons. Citizens who belong to religious groups are also members of the secular society, and this dual association generates complications. Religious beliefs have moral and social implications, and it is appropriate for people of faith to express these through their activities as citizens in the political order. The fact that ethical convictions are rooted in religious faith does not disqualify them from the political realm. However, they do not have secular validity merely because they are thought by their exponents to be religiously authorized. They must be argued for in appropriate social and political terms in harmony with national values.

In both cases, we should be prepared to deal with complexities, ambiguities, and overlapping realms in which practical discernment must find workable principles to guide us that are as compatible with fundamental Constitutional imperatives as human reason can devise.
