Rational Theocracy

''Note: This ideology is part of a project by Altem101. The project can be found here.''

Rational Theocracy is an Authoritarian, Economically Variable, Culturally Left and Religious ideology which worships the ideals of, more specifically rationality and progress.

It wants a state controlled by experts as it views them as infallible. They will act as deities on Earth as people are expected to have an unrelenting devotion to them. What the experts say become law. These experts also have the task to use their expertise to advance society both Technologically and  Culturally.

It hates everything that it views as "irrational" like Religion,  Traditions and. These concepts can not be measured scientifically and are therefore irrelevant in society. Although, this part of the ideology is pretty hypocritical as it supports non-scientific concepts like LGBT-Rights,  Humanism and. If any science happens to debunk any of these values then it will quickly be "debunked".

People have to believe everything that is said by the experts that run the state and be devoted to the mainstream ideas of society. Everything that could be considered as distrust in the actions of the state will be deemed a Conspiracy Theory.

Although the ideology doesn't have the classical elements of a Theocracy its absolute devotion to science and progress reaches levels that could be considered religion-like. It also likes to perform many irrational acts that can be likened to that of a religious ritual.
