Theocracy won't protect you even if you are part of the same religion. Secularism will. That's why I'm siding with Atheists rather than your average Christian.
How much genuine, principled secularism is actually present in the US? Part of the reason we are where we are is because a lot of atheism here is rooted in contrarianism rather than principled secularism (looking at you, “new atheism”).
An important point to make is that government secularism is not government atheism. Secularism protects everyone on the political spectrum from the forced imposition of beliefs.
It's very difficult for me to teach secular people about the Bible about the Torah on about what's going to happen in the future according to Billy Graham son. And the Catholics. I try.

Atheist here.
I figure if there is an afterlife I'm set. Even my former girlfriends and wives like me. If there ISN'T an afterlife I'm not gonna' be around to care, an I?
I remember sitting on the toilet when I was 10, having just experienced my first orgasm by masturbation, when it was still a sin to do so, and thinking, 'religion is stupid'
The problem with theocracy is that humanity is still worshiping the wrong idols. At the infinite point of eternity, there is only the Divine - Heil der Göttlichen 🌹🌹
Theocracy play out as authoritarianism and a class system of peasants and lords. True even in N Korea where they absurdly claim to be Communists but are a Monarchy.

Just as there was no before life.
It's an odd feeling.
But I don't think that's what you're talking about, either.
Both are actively resisting Project 2025.
They need our support now more than ever.

How could separating religion from state lead to a state run by religion???
