Theocracies are replete with disadvantages:
- Theocracies deny all or most personal human rights. Freedom of Speech is abrogated with Blasphemy Laws. Freedom of Religion is abrogated with Mandatory State Religion. Cruel Punishments and Torture are openly practiced.
- Theocracies retard scientific growth since science often dispels certain aspects of the religion in power.
- Theocracies are more belligerent and bellicose since the will of the sovereign is not countenanced by the will of the people.
- Theocracies breed religious fundamentalism.
- Theocracies usually have some form of "thought-police" to enforce the lack of religious liberty.
- Theocracies are usually culturally reactionary since the religion in power does not change while the world around them does.
