Under a theocracy, there is no law behind other religions or the right to practice them.

You are correct. The very problem is that you are correct and this is not at all what the United States is based on despite the path our country has been headed down for some years, now. The spirit behind our government is that the majority should not, cannot crush what is right simply because they are in the majority. Civil rights is a fine example of a small group of people standing up for what is right in order to overthrow an incorrect majority.
