Religious governance refers to the way in which religious beliefs and institutions influence the organization and management of society. This can include laws, policies, and practices that are derived from religious teachings. In some countries, religious leaders may hold significant power, shaping both spiritual and political decisions. In many cases, religious governance can be seen in the form of theocracy, where a religious institution governs the state. Examples include Iran, where Islamic law guides the legal system, or Vatican City, which is governed by the Pope. Such systems often intertwine faith with civic duties, impacting daily life for followers.
