Theocracy is an ideology that is based upon vicarious autotheism- the sense that oneself and like-minded people collectively constitute a monotheist god. Theocracy is the typical manifestation of authoritarian collectivism, though authoritarian collectivism often has a secular veneer. Authoritarian collectivism is characterized by a sense of paternalism.

  • absence of the right of abortion

  • absence of the right of polyamory
  • absence of the right of prostitution
  • absence of the right to view attractive parts of people other than those of one's spouse
  • absence of the right to masturbate
  • absence of the right to eat alone
  • absence of the right to have pleasure alone in general
