There are as many religious leaders in the world as there are religions.
theocracy-a government controlled by religious leaders
The Pope, Bishops, Sisters (Nuns) society, Priests and ministers are the religious leaders in christianity.
Jesus challenged the religious (perhaps they were pious, perhaps they weren't) leaders for three main reasons. 1) Jesus fundamentally disagreed with their interpretation of scripture. While the religious leaders focused on strict purity codes that separated them from outsiders, Jesus showed that the heart of scriptures is that people can be forgiven their past sins and must pursue new lives of selfless love towards God and others. (Matthew 5:16-48, 10:1-12; John 8:1-11) 2) Jesus cared for the common people, and he felt that their leaders were very poor leaders indeed. (e.g. Matthew 23) 3) The religious leaders did not believe in Jesus, and they were very jealous of his popularity. They therefore challenged him with difficult questions trying to trap him, and he replied by challenging them. (e.g. Mark 7; Matthew 22:15-46; John 8:12-59)

He called them serpents and "generation of vipers." (Matthew 12.34,23.33 & Luke3.7) He called their father, the devil. (John 8.44) He asked them how they could hope to escape hell fire, (Matthew 23.33) Yet for all this they crucified him, so they were not corrected!
Since Israel has no official state religion, its political leaders are not religious leaders, and its religious leaders are not political leaders, in contrast to some other countries in the region and elsewhere.
The religious leaders once asked Jesus by what power or authority he performed signs and miracles?

There have been many governments that have had religious leaders who are also political leaders. This type of government is known as a theocracy. A modern day example of this would be Iran. It is headed by a President, but he takes his orders from religious leaders who are actually in charge.
