Theocratic State

Secular State, Rational-Legal Authority, Public CitizenshipAbstract
In the contemporary context of political science, concepts challenging the notion of “morality in the state” emphasize the establishment of a governance framework grounded in neutrality, equality, and transparency. This is achieved through the principles of the Secular State and Rational-Legal Authority, which effectively accommodate the diversity and dynamism of values in modern societies. Furthermore, the concepts of public citizenship and equal participation serve as critical tools in promoting openness and critical thinking, enabling the state to adapt to the changes brought by globalization. These arguments demonstrate the superiority of such concepts over the traditional “morality in the state” by prioritizing the rule of law and universal reason over adherence to singular religious values. This approach aligns with modernity and effectively addresses the needs of diverse populations.
