When you believe, you forfeit your ability to critical thinking. You lose the respect and the sense of fraternity that allows you to inspire and spur your own leaders. You become a follower. You worship. And in so doing, you massage your leader's ego into self-indulgence, deafness and blindness. And democracy is dead.

Name the theocratic republics. There aren't any. You are abdicating your own responsibility.
