A country that does not have what American's call "separation of church and state" is a THEOCRACY. In a theocracy, there is no secular government, and religion is part of every aspect of life. For example, a theocracy has one established religion and citizens are expected to belong to it, observe its holy days, follow its dress codes and dietary laws, etc. The legal system in a theocracy is usually run by the clergy, using their religion's scriptures for guidance. Some theocracies allow minority faiths, but do not give them the same rights, while other theocracies forbid the observance of minority religions entirely, and may even punish non-believers.
