Some religions are non-intrusive. Some are very intrusive. Their
followers believe everyone should see things their way. Can you name one
or two examples of each?

I can, but I won't -- partly because you have defined the problem quite
vaguely [most religions believe they've got it right, some proselytize
extensively, a few claim theirs is the only correct answer, and one (that
I'm aware of) insists that they're right and everyone else must die.],
but mostly because your posit has naught to do with the issue.

Please explain to me how this country would have become a theocracy
without certain unspecified checks and balances in place. You might
explain the unspecified checks and balances, too.


Simple: It is an established fact that some candidates receive enormous
support from the Christian extreme right, and that they expect these
candidates to push for certain types of laws which feed only their beliefs.
Without the other two branches of government in place, we would be a
Christian theocracy, just as Iran is an Islamic theocracy.
