When laws must be in line with religion is the factor that makes a system of government a theocracy and not a republic. In a theocracy, the religious leaders have a dominant role in the government and the laws are based on religious beliefs and principles. In a republic, the government is based on a constitution and the laws are made by elected representatives of the people.
