Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union were both secular dictatorships. A genuine theocratic democracy is just about impossible anyway.

Not really, as the Nazi ideology was based on some pagan belief systems

No it wasn't. It was (ultimately) based around various racist theories that grew in popularity during the 19th century, none of which were at all based in either religious or pseudo-religious beliefs. All the pseudo-pagan babble surronding it was (initially at least) just a sort of perverted romanticism.

Please buy yourself a dictionary before you make a fool out of yourself again. Secular does not mean religiously neutral, it implies the absense (even rejection) of religion or spiritual matters.

Democracy is not the same thing as mob rule and there is more to democracy than elections. Look up what theocracy actually means... it is ultimately incompatible with a democractic system of government.
