Re: Woman arrested after damaging Satanic display at Florida Capitol
Here's what Merriam Webster has to say:

Not sure where you got your definition, but I'm glad you're enjoying your gift. :roll:
I read the definition as having an "or" in it: Theocracy is a form of government in which the clergy is officially recognized as the civil Ruler and official policy is governed by officials regarded as divinely guided, or is pursuant to the doctrine of a particular religion or religious group.
As for SCOTUS shutting it down, it has. That's why we're discussing the woman attacking the Satanic display. Because in order to stay within the Establishment Clause - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, you have to allow all religious views access if you allow one. It's either Christmas displays plus Satanic ones, or no Christmas displays at all.
Here's what Merriam Webster has to say:
: a form of government in which a country is ruled by religious leaders
: a country that is ruled by religious leaders
