   Thank you for confirming that theocracies and their far worse   
   atheist equivalents, are all appalling, and that the obvious   
   historical conclusion is that EVERY Atheist regime, i.e. 100%   
   of them, has been a totalitarian tyranny. 8^o EVERY ONE OF THEM!!   
      
   Most of the worlds great and enduring civilisations, have been   
   inspired and nurtured by spiritual teachings.. including the   
   vast number of significant artists, scientists and thinkers throughout   
   history.. thus, unlike you, I will answer all three questions;   
      
   I would choose a modern, open, democratic, pluralist, democracy   
   with over 70% of it's population being theists of various beliefs,   
   who tolerate and give full rights to the minorities, including   
   non-believers, (atheists and the much larger and more rational   
   group of humanists and agnostics!   
      
   So MY favourite religious societies include, the USA, Australia,   
   Spain, Jordan, France, Malaysia, India, Indonesia, and, in history   
   I would have chosen Renaissance Europe, The Caliphate, Andalusia,   
   and further back ..American Plains Indians, or (when it becomes a   
   matter of the best of a bad lot, Greek proto democracy, Zoroasterian   
   Persia, .. then it gets too dim and uncertain, just like ravin' 1   
   when he is asked if there is any Atheist regime he would prefer   
   to live in rather than the "In God We Trust' USA?????   
      
   EVEN ATHEISTS PREFER To LIVE UNDER THE TOLERANT PROTECTION OF   
   DEMOCRATIC THEISM, THAN THE CRUEL BARBARIC AND BACKWARD LUNACY   
   OF **EVERY** ATHEIST REGIME!   
      
   It is because of that indisputable fact that the weak atheist hypocrites   
   ALWAYS try to compare the WORST of theism, to the ...well.. there is no   
   BEST of Atheism!!!! EVERY atheist regime was a SHITHOLE!!! B^D   
      
    So they just pretend to believe a LIE; ...that ALL theism is fundie   
   theocracy.. because the truth does not fit their delusional blind   
   faith! B^D
