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.

Religious leaders have enough experience with community services which could serve as their primary knowledge about people's needs. Admitting that it wouldn't compare to other politician's credibility, if we really think about it.. countries thriving in corruption doesn't necessarily need intellectual leaders.. but leaders with a strong moral character; built with dedication and honesty. A religious leader is a man for other people. It might work if he is also a political leader for the people. Not like many politicians.. who are only for themselves.
