Think Iran. In my lifetime, it was a westernized country, allied with the US and Israel. But in 1979-1980 had a complete religious conversion.
Regardless which political party is in power, all Iranian authority is held by ayatollahs, and a Supreme Leader of Iran is elected by the Assembly of Experts, --also the only government body in charge of choosing and dismissing Supreme Leaders of Iran. The Supreme Leader is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces and the provisional[citation needed] head of the three branches of the state (the Judiciary, the Legislature, and the Executive). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supreme_Leader_of_Iran#:~:text=He%20oversees%2C%20appoints%20(or%20inaugurates,of%20the%20Parliament%20impeach%20him.
Shia Muslims believe that Mohammed publicly designated his cousin and son-in-law, Hazrat Ali as the first in a line of hereditary Imams from the Prophet's family to lead the community after him. Sunnis far outnumber them but for the most part are not as fanatically devout.
Originally mostly Zoroastrian. Cyrus the Great helped the Jews restore the 2nd temple and therefore they think the Jews owe them. Most Iranian Jews were expelled in 1948, and in Israel there are tens of thousand Farsi speakers who know the customs. Several who remained have been used as totems and scapegoats.
IMHO under the MAGA Mike scenario, the best for people like me would be "honorary" citizenship, like minorities in Iran, but 2nd class - with limited rights.
I ran is pretty much an exception to theocracies. The shot of Iran who was deposed in 1979, Pahlavi used to appear on the Sunday morning news programs pretty regularly and I thought he was a very intelligent man. Khomeini, inherited a government the West set up, and the West was agnostic. The typical theocracy especially Christian theocracies, or what you find in South America and Muslim theocracies are what you find in the Middle East and Africa. A few people have all the power and wealth and the others are left begging! This is where almost all the immigrants are coming from. Third world capitalistic theocratic Nations, and our white Christian supremacists want it here because they're not very smart!

You are better off than me Daniel. My fate would be stoning.
