How do you define “theocracy”?
The left defines an American theocracy as basing our laws on Christian principles and God’s law of the bible. Do you?

Because that’s the way laws used to be written and/or justified in our country - “has the divine ruled on this topic?” - if so, then no law of man may override that.

Face it, our country WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL OTHERWISE, based on any other value system.

I don’t use the left to define much of anything.

Webster defines it as “government of a state by immediate divine guidance or by officials who are regarded as divinely guided.”

The United States is NOT a theocracy and never has been.
