Imam Khamenei's theory of religious democracy presents a governance model based on Islamic foundations of monotheism in legislative sovereignty, which emphasizes the necessity of establishing and maintaining government through divine-popular legitimacy and public participation. The theory insists on preserving systemic efficacy while requiring multiple qualifications - including scholarly, managerial, insightful, and ethical competencies - from governing officials. While numerous studies have examined the nature and mechanisms of Imam Khamenei's religious democracy theory, two critical aspects remain understudied: first, a thorough analysis of the rational and scriptural foundations of this theory, and second, a systematic comparison between religious democracy and its main theoretical counterpart - Western democracy. These constitute the primary objectives of this article. Using an inferential-analytical methodology, we first examine the foundations of both Imam Khamenei's religious democracy theory and Western democracy, then conduct a comparative analysis to clearly demonstrate their points of convergence and divergence.
