Well, technically, Pharaohs were the religious and political leader. They were the same person. So, the answer is no.
A theocracy is a form of government in which the leaders are selected by a form of religious hierarchy. There are only two theocracies in the world today: Iran and Vatican City.
They get their names from the religious leaders.

In a Political Empire the citizens are aware of the fact that the leaders are making the rules. The difference with regards to the Religious Empire is that the citizens are duped into the false notion of a supreme divinity ruling over them through their leaders.
Since Israel has no official state religion, its political leaders are not religious leaders, and its religious leaders are not political leaders, in contrast to some other countries in the region and elsewhere.

Religious leaders have enough experience with community services which could serve as their primary knowledge about people's needs. Admitting that it wouldn't compare to other politician's credibility, if we really think about it.. countries thriving in corruption doesn't necessarily need intellectual leaders.. but leaders with a strong moral character; built with dedication and honesty. A religious leader is a man for other people. It might work if he is also a political leader for the people. Not like many politicians.. who are only for themselves.

They made Calvin their religious and political leader.
There have been many governments that have had religious leaders who are also political leaders. This type of government is known as a theocracy. A modern day example of this would be Iran. It is headed by a President, but he takes his orders from religious leaders who are actually in charge.
Iran, Saudi Arabia... Take your pick.
