The lead by John Winthrop that resulted in a theocracy was the establishment of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1630. Winthrop, a Puritan leader, envisioned the colony as a "city upon a hill," with a government closely aligned with Puritan religious principles. This theocratic system meant that church leaders held significant power, and laws were based on religious doctrine, effectively intertwining governance and faith.
The idea of America as a theocracy raises significant concerns about individual freedoms and separation of church and state. A theocracy could undermine the diverse beliefs of its citizens and potentially lead to discrimination against those who do not adhere to the dominant faith. Upholding a secular government allows for coexistence and respect among various religious and non-religious groups, fostering a more inclusive society. Therefore, maintaining a separation between religion and governance is essential for protecting democracy and individual rights.

John Winthrop was a leader of Puritans, person who had emigrated from England because they were facing persecution from the Church of England. Winthrop was key in founding the Massachusetts Bay Colony, which was the second major settlement in New England (the first being Plymouth).
John Winthrop was the leader of a group of englishmen called Puritans. He set up Massachusets to practice a new religion. But three people named Anne Hutchinson, Thomas Hooker, and Roger Williams split from the colony because they disagreed with Winthrop's ideas for the church. Anne Hutchinson founded the colony of Portsmouth, RI. Thomas Hooker founded the colony of Providence, RI. Roger Williams founded Conneticut colony. Hope this answers it :-)
When they were Big Blue Monkey the lead vocalist was John Taylor, when they became Story of the Year Dan Marsala became the lead vocalist.
In theocracy a deity is considered the civil ruler. This ruler is believed to be chosen by God himself to lead the people and this claim is reinforced by the clergy.
John Winthrop says that "This liberty is maintained and exercised in a way of subjection to authority; it is of the same kind of liberty wherewith Christ has made us free." In other words, Winthrop views the liberty of the Puritans as something that is loving and nurturing, but also something that has the potential to be abused.
John Winthrop and his followers were very religious. Their denomination was called "Puritans," because they wanted to purify Christianity from what they believed were errors in doctrine and practice. Winthrop envisioned a Christian theocracy, a government run by religion, where religious values (faith and piety, hard work, avoidance of sin) would create what he believed to be an ideal place to live and work. This place would be a shining example to others coming to the New World, a "city on the hill" that others could look up to and emulate. Of course, it turned out that many colonists found the Puritans harsh and judgmental, and they left the colony. But Winthrop did not expect that to occur-- he sincerely believed a Christian colony where Puritanism ruled would lead to only good things.
