I agree. I think theocracies have the problem that their 'truth' is dogmatic and it can lead to abuses of power because their rules come from faith and not form reason.
But religion is very important, it gives us a sense of order in a chaotic and uncertain world. That is why I feel the US founding fathers greatest achievement was to strike a balance between state and religion. Where the citizens would be governed by a set of laws based on reason but let fee to practice any religious believe to enrich their spiritual life.
