'''Christian Theocracy''' is a culturally right-wing ideology occupying the upper center section of the Authoritarian scale of the political compass, depending on the type of Christianity (Calvinists on the far right, Catholics center left, etc.). It believes that a strong, Christian government is necessary for the salvation of mankind. They do not want a separation of church and state, moderates believe in living according to the Ten Commandments along with the teachings of Jesus Christ while radicals might go as far as crusading against non-Christians.
==History==
There were numerous states in history that adopted Christianity as their state religion. The first state to legally declare Christianity it's state religion would be Armenia, under King [[w:Tiridates_III_of_Armenia|Tiridates III]] (298-330 C.E./A.D.). Later, in the year 380 under Emperor Theodosius I, the [[w:Edict_of_Thessalonica|Edict of Thessalonica]] would make Christianity the state religion of the Roman Empire, influencing all European history to come.
The New Testament gives no guidelines for governing a nation, but the Old Testament does describe the existance of theocracies under men such as [[File:Moses.png]] Moses, [[File:Joshua.png]] Joshua, and King Josiah (for more information, see [[File:JewTheo.png]] [[Jewish Theocracy#History|Jewish Theocracy § History]]).
For more information on the histories from the perspective of specific denominations, see the "History" sections of:

==Variants==
===[[File:ChalcedonTheo.png]] Chalcedonianism===
Chalcedonian Christianity is the umbrella term for the Christian groups that accepted the Council of Chalcedon in 451 AND the Council of Nicea in 325, the common term for what can be considered pre-schismatic Christianity from which both Catholicism and Orthodoxy originate. On the council it was decided that the nature of Christ is dual, both human and divine: '''Dyophysitism.''' It encompasses modern Catholicism and Orthodoxy, as well as the protestant denominations that recognize the two councils. In some ways, it can also be a term that refers to a potential reunion of Catholic and Orthodox churches back into a single Church, a potentially pejorative term: Cathodoxy, that some may embrace as a Christian identity as opposed to just Catholicism and/or Orthodoxy.

===[[File:Theodemocracy.png]] Mormonism===
[[File:Theodemocracy.png]] [[Theodemocracy|Mormonism]], also known as The 'Latter-Day Saints movement' is a restorationist Non-Trinitarian Christian denomination that follows the teachings of Jesus Christ himself coming in contact with a forgotten Native American Hebrew society, a new interpretation of The afterlife, Heaven, and God, known as 'The Degrees of Glory', and stronger emphasize on the connection between Humanity and God presented by The Book of Mormon, which Mormons believe is a continuation of The Bible. It is the historical religion of The U.S. state of [[File:Cball-Utah.png]] Utah and various colonies throughout [[File:Cball-Mexico.png]] Mexico.
===[[File:ChristZion.png]] Messianic Judaism===
Messianic Judaism is a syncretic religion that combines teachings from both Christianity and Judaism, it teachings traditional Jewish theory with the concept of salvation through faith in Jesus
===[[File:Relreject.png]] Jehovah's Witnesses===
Jehovah's Witnesses is a restorations Christian denomination that follows one God known as 'Jehovah' who is the creator and sovereign ruler of The Universe, and Jesus is The son of God, but not a part of the Trinity. They are religiously rejectionist and anti-nationalist, believing earthly politics are illegitimate and that faith knows no nation or borders. As such, they refuse to swear any oaths. They are run by a [[File:Oligarchy.png]] council of variable size called the Governing Body.
===[[File:Cball-Occitania.png]] Catharism===
Catharism, also known as 'Albigensianism' was a Gnostic Christian sect native to Southern France. Cathars believe in two powerful deities, a good God who created the spiritual realm and an evil God who created the material World. In reincarnation, the human soul was an immortal spirit trapped in the physical body and would be continually reborn until it completely renounced the material world and escaped the cycle of rebirth. Equality between men and women, vegetarianism and celibacy.
==Stylistic Notes==
*Can be holding a cross or Eucharist materials such as bread and wine.
* Is NEVER late for Bible study club meetings.
* If denomination-specific balls are shown, he will represent non-denominational Christianity and will try to act as a mediator between them
==How to Draw==
{{Flag|Christian_flag.svg}}
The design of Christian Theocracy is based on the Christian Flag adopted by the United States Federal Council of Churches, designed by Charles C. Overton in 1897. The flag is white (for purity and peace), with a blue field (faithfulness, truth, and sincerity) and a red cross (the sacrifice of Christ).
