Protestant Theocracy

Protestant Theocracy (ProtTheo) is an Authoritarian Unity ideology that believes that Protestantism should rule over the state.

Personality and Behavior
He likes to preach, he is violent towards Catholic Theocracy, and is seen hanging out with other ideologies that support Protestantism.

Creation
It all started in 1517 when Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the All Saints' Church in Wittenberg. He began to become more extreme in his faith. He started preaching the 5 soles and questioning the supremacy of the papacy. After his excommunication more and more protestant theologians started to pop up, preaching their sect of Protestantism. Many kingdoms in the Holy Roman Empire started to convert to Protestantism. The Nordic countries and England also converted to Protestantism.

Münster
Between 1533 and 1535 the Protestant leaders Jan Matthys and John of Leiden erected a short-living theocratic kingdom in the city of Münster. They set up some type of Medieval Anabaptist Communism. Money was abolished and property was redistributed. Any violation of the 10 commandments was punishable by death. This all ended in 1535 where Münster was recaptured by Franz von Waldeck after a long siege.

Geneva and Zurich
Even though Calvin called for the separation of church and state, some historians say that Geneva, Switzerland, under John Calvin was a theocracy. Him and other pastors held power over Geneva. The consistory tried moral and religious offenders. Many examples are: no work or pleasure on a Sunday, no extravagance in dress, if you were excommunicated you were banished from the city, blasphemy could be punished by death, lewd singing could be punished by your tongue being pierced. One time a rebellion lead by the Libertines attempted a take-over of Geneva which was a disaster. The ringleaders were caught and executed. It is also debated if Zurich under Huldrych Zwingli was a theocracy. Some say that it was a theocracy while others say it wasn't really a theocracy.

Anglican Caesaropapism
After Henry VIII was excommunicated, he set up the  Church of England where he was at the head. The head of the church and the king were one. This was reversed when the Catholic queen Mary I reversed the First Act of Supremacy. It was brought back by queen Elizabeth I with the Second Act of Supremacy. The title was changed from the Supreme Head of the Church of England to the Supreme Governor of the Church of England which is still enacted to this day.

Amish
The Amish believe that the Bible instructs them to care for church members who have special needs, including the elderly (to rely on commercial or government insurance would contradict their belief that God will care for them through the church) and are taught to respect and pray for governing authorities according to biblical admonitions. However, when caught in a conflict between their conscience and civic law, they cite the scripture verse “Obey God rather than men” (Acts 5:29). They believe that Jesus’s followers are to be nonviolent, and they forbid self-defense as well as entering the armed forces. The Amish emphasize the separation of church and state. They prefer not to receive subsidies from government programs. They will typically not serve in government committees or commissions, but will often consult and cooperate with local officials. The Amish generally avoid holding public office and engaging in political activism. They are, however, permitted to vote. The rate of voting is typically low unless a local issue is on the ballot. In recent years, numerous conflicts have pitted the Amish against the growing regulatory power of the state. The points of friction have included military service, education, Social Security, health care, property zoning, child labor, photo identification, and the use of slow-moving-vehicle signs. To cope with these various conflicts, the Amish have formed a national steering committee with representatives in various states to work with public legislators when issues arise. In general, however, the Amish have fared rather well in a political system that respects and protects their freedom of religious expression.
