First, not everyone in the world considers democracy the best form of government, although most people living in true democracies find it acceptable and probably better than other governments they have known. People, for example, who support Islamic republics consider US styled democracies an abomination.

Those who advocate for democracy do so because there is at least the possibility that everyone's voice can be heard, and everyone including minorities of every kind can actively participate in government. Perhaps more basic is the idea in most if not all democracies that the people themselves are the source of governmental authority. This was an absolutely radical idea in modern times when the fledgling US proposed and implemented it. You can imagine what an affront this was to King George and to colonists who supported him.

In stark and probably forever irreconcilable contrast, religious republics make no distinction between religion and politics, and religious texts form the only basis for any kind of government.
