Answer 2

Answer:

Estonia, Fiji and Saudi arabia not be called democratic countries because they are based on the authoritarian rule of religion.

Explanation:

Estonia, Fiji and Saudi arabia are theocracy, a form of governance where decisions are made by officials who are believed to be guided by the divine. Government officials frequently come from the clergy, and religious law serves as the foundation for the legal system in theocracies. Early civilizations were often theocracies.

These countries are the ones where religion controls the way of life of the people. While  China, Cuba, North Korea, Vietnam and several former Soviet republics – places where government officials seek to control worship practices, public expressions of religion and political activity by religious groups.

Saudi Arabia is a theocratic Islamic state. Minority religious groups are not allowed to openly practise their religion. Apostasy, which is leaving Islam in favor of another religion, carries a death sentence.
