THEOCRACY IN THE MODERN WORLD

Modern Western world in political sense propagates secular prin­ciple of political organization. This means separation between the state and religion. But even in the most important Western states seculariza­tion has not been completely accepted. Even superficial examination of political system in the West shows that religion is present in their politi­cal organizations. The example of Great Britain is the most impressive one. In England King is a chief of established church of England. In Denmark Lutheran church is established, too. If we analyze other civi­lizations than Christian, we will see similar situation. Islamic, Hindu and Buddhist worlds give similar examples. Having in mind all those facts we can easily conclude that theocracy is not past, bur very present model of political organization in contemporary world.
