A distinction must be made between religions and political movements posing as religions. All religions must be protected by the State, insofar as they don’t teach their followers to strive for the establishment of a theocracy. Any religion that crosses this line and starts to advocate for the establishment of a theocracy must cease to be considered a religion. Such a religion must be considered a political movement. As a political movement, it must conform to the laws that regulate the existence of other political movements. For example, no democratic state should tolerate political movements whose main objective is the instauration of a dictatorship. To summarize, religions whose objectives are political in nature must not benefit from all of the protections accorded to religions which have no political objectives. The existence of political objectives must be the key to differentiate between religions and political movements posing as religions. The number of adherents and the oldness of an organization must have no influence whatsoever on this differentiation.
