3. No, I think they DO want theocracy--like they also want in the US
The idea is controlling people without having to expend lots of money and resources. The answer? The same answer the Catholic Church has had for 2000 years: plant the enemy within the person's own brain. Have this "religion" keep the subject totally focused on the small foibles of himself and his neighbors, especially the female ones. That way, he can't see the larger evils that are engulfing him. Give this "religion" magical powers, which give (false) hope, and have these powers contigent on "believing", which impart a sense of guilt so that the subject will blame himself when things go wrong. Give the religious "righteous" ways to blow off the inevitable steam that will occur in such restrictive circumstances: suicide bombing, stoning (especially of women), etc.

Tie this religion to the government, and you have a very successful form of human control for the few who want the resources of the earth for themselves.

Oh, and censor the truth. Better yet, make people not want the truth. Make it too hard, too boring, too unacceptable. Fast food bread and media circuses instead.

It's all about control.

Period.
