THEOPOLITICS — [Noun] The practice of politics as directly influenced or governed by religious doctrine. From theo- ("relating to God or deities") + politics ("the activities associated with governance"), it is governance by divine mandate. Unlike "secular politics" (which operates in deliberate separation from faith) or "political theology" (which examines the abstract intersections of power and the sacred), theopolitics is the tangible imposition of scripture upon law. It is the ayatollah’s fatwa etched into penal code, the Puritan’s city upon a hill made manifest in statute, the quiet erosion of civil liberties under the weight of sacred tradition—a reminder that devotion, when wielded as power, is rarely content to remain in the realm of the spirit.
