The Koch brothers do NOT want a theocracy, for sooner or later the dogma of whatever religion that that theocracy is based on comes out. Right now that is Christianity in the US and Western Europe, and it is difficult to reconcile the teaching of Jesus with Ayn Rand. An example of this is Supply Side Jesus:

Thus you quickly see the story of Jesus (and Moses and Muhammad) are NOT compatible with modern Crony Capitalism. Thus Ayn Rand is the book the right support, and it is more an Anti-Marxist, Anti-People, pro-Social Darwinist book. Ayn Rand REJECTS Christianity even more than the most radical Marxist.

Given this background, they do NOT want a Theocracy if that is based on Christian-Judea-Islamic traditions (and what they want as a Theocracy is NOT supported by Hinduism or Buddhism). Thus they want a Theocracy based on Ayn Rand, but her wring is basically screw the poor and anyone not making $50,000 has to reject her writing for that is the group that has to put its most alliance on help from Friends and Relatives (And such support is supported by the above Religions).

The Koch Brothers want an Ayn Rand Paradise (or hell hole for anyone without money) but you can NOT have a popular Religion based on that doctrine. You can not have a religion that says most of its most enthusiastic followers will go to hell. It is self defeating for that reason.

Now the Koch Brother want their dogma, Social Darwinism to be the religion of the land, but even the Christian Right have rejected it. When President Bush was in power and the GOP had both houses of Congress, did the Religion Right get want it mostly wanted? The answer was no.
No law outlawing abortion on the Federal Level, No law giving the religious right more freedom to campaign for candidates. Some bones were thrown to the Religious right, but the main thrust was on cutting Social Security (which many of those same right wing churches came out to support, i.e. they wanted to preserve Social Security and Social Spending).

The Koch Brothers dismissed these demands of the Religious Right, they brought out the old horses of the Religious Right, Falwell etc, but they all failed to get the vote out (Kerry received moire votes in 2008 in rural America then Gore had done in 2000, it was in the inner cities that Bush won his Reelection, getting unheard of votes out of urban areas to off set Bush lost of Rural Votes).

Do to the collapse of the Religious Right after 2008, the Koch invented the Tea party. Many of the same people had been religious right but with the Tea Party the demands of the Religious Right were ignored for it was the demands of the money right that the GOP heard and obeyed not the Religious Right.

I bring this up for what the Koch brothers want is an Ayn Rand Hellhole and if they can find someone to make a proper religion that the people making less then $50,000 will embrace based on her writings, the Koch brothers will support that leader. The problem that is a Supply Side Jesus not any religion meant to give people hope.
