The document discusses the relationship between religion and nationalism. It begins by defining religion as a unified system of beliefs and practices related to sacred things. It then examines how religion can be a source of division or help form national identity. Religion often impacts society through effects on education, language, rituals, and politics. Religious affiliation is sometimes linked to national identity, as seen in examples from Northern Ireland, Sri Lanka, and the former Yugoslavia. Overall, religion can both unite multiple nations under one faith or divide a single nation among different faiths.

The Power of Society
Can a person’s religious affiliation (or lack of it) give us any clues about that person’s attitudes on family life?
In a recent survey of U.S adults (a survey that was limited to white people, to control for race), 90 percent of those who described themselves as evangelical Protestants also said they had “old-fashioned” values about family and marriage. The share of self-described Catholics or mainline Protestants who said the same was lower.And less than half of those who claimed to have no religious affiliation shared these traditional values.Clearly, people’s values—whether “old-fashioned” or progressive—are not just a matter of personal choice; they also reflect people’s social background, including their religious affiliation.

Institute of Interfaith Dialog - Prison Conversion to Islam - Christianityrigsbyml
In prison many inmates turn to religion for a novel world-view fostering belonging, identity, and management of life. Religious conversion may reinforce anti-social, radical identity or it may encourage pro-social conformity. This study focuses on the role of conversion in prisoner rehabilitation and the potential for the radicalization of prisoners in context of religious conversion. Given the relative dearth of research on either of the above subjects, this study examines conversion in prison and the potential tendencies for, the inclusivist, or the exclusivist, the incorporationist, or the rejectionist trajectories of conversion.
The striking conclusion of this research is that religious conversion is a much nuanced pathway for both Islam and Christianity. In each religion no definitive process of radicalization emerged to prove radicalization. What is found in both religions were many forks in the road during the conversion process and transforming of identities. These forks were evidenced in both the inclusivist and exclusivist religious community identity and in the incorporationist and rejectionist world-view identity. The narratives provided evidence that religion is just one alternative for gaining knowledge of self and belonging. The narratives defined other alternatives for gaining knowledge of self that included education, counseling, and gangs. What emerged from the analysis is that not all who experience religious conversion and exhibit exclusivist identity also become rejectionist. Conversely most became become incorporationist. In the analysis of this data only two participants, one Muslim and one Christian, coded both exclusivist and rejectionist. Of the exclusivists that are rejectionist, some may be nonviolent isolationists while others may be violent. It is these that may have the greatest tendency toward terrorism. In supporting the call of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights (2008) for sound academic study of radicalization in America’s prisons this research supports a major policy issue. It supports the finding that isolating one religion as a radicalization source may unduly burden the free practice of religion while failing to recognize that other religions may have the same tendencies to lead to radicalization and even terrorism.

Mindfulness, defined as the conscious, non-judgmental observation of the present moment, has deep roots in Buddhist meditation practice but has gained significant popularity in the Western world in recent years.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Look at relationship between
religion and nationalism:
• Religion as a source of
division
• Religion, society and politics
• Religion and national identity
POLITICS OF NATIONALISM
4. RELIGION AND NATIONALISM
3. NATURE OF RELIGION
Definition:
Religion: “a unified system of beliefs and
practices relative to sacred things, that is to
say, things set apart and forbidden—beliefs
and practices which unite into one single
moral community called a Church, all those
who adhere to them” (Durkheim)
POLITICS OF NATIONALISM
4. RELIGION AND NATIONALISM
4. NATURE OF RELIGION
Implications of definition:
Religion embodies beliefs and practices (or
rituals):
• Beliefs: ideological component, may have
political implications
(e.g. about matters of public policy)
• Rituals: external expressions of belief,
typically non-political, but may have political
implications
(e.g. public displays, processions)
POLITICS OF NATIONALISM
4. RELIGION AND NATIONALISM
5. NATURE OF RELIGION
Differences between religion and language as
source of differentiation:
• Commitment to religion is qualitative, not
categorical
(so partial membership, or non-membership,
is possible)
• Religion does not imply territorial
concentration, or critical mass
(so no intrinsic drive towards assimilation)
• Religion always has social (and possibly
political) implications
(so membership implies political position?)

Religion and educational development
Inculcation of religious values requires a
minimum level of teaching
Implies existence of at least a rudimentary
educational system (perhaps church-based)
May imply the cultivation of special skills
(e.g. basic literacy)
Certain religions more demanding than
others (e.g. emphasis in Protestantism on
need for everyone to read the Bible)

Religion and politics
Different religions may have different
implications for public policy:
–Protestant emphasis on sabbatarianism,
prohibition

and on Catholic schools and medical services
Raises prospect of conflict with secular state, or
between religions
Significant consequences for political

15. RELIGION AND NATIONAL IDENTITY
Formation of national identity
• May be greatly facilitated by social impact of
religion (building of broad community)
• But universalist religions are inclusive
(promote notion of bonds between all
humans)
• Nevertheless, may have implications for
defining narrower patterns of identity
– Impact of “ethnic” religions
– Effect of organisational structures
– Religious labels as ethnonational labels
POLITICS OF NATIONALISM
4. RELIGION AND NATIONALISM
16. RELIGION AND NATIONAL IDENTITY
“Ethnic” religion and national identity
Community is defined as a collectivity unified,
and distinguished from others, by shared beliefs
and rituals
(e.g. Shinto, Judaism)
Religious writings, tracts and ceremonials may
be those of an ethnonational community
(they document history of a people, not just of a
religion; e.g. Old Testament and Israel)
But: ethnic religion may sometimes be divisive
(e.g. tribal / local religions)
POLITICS OF NATIONALISM
4. RELIGION AND NATIONALISM
17. RELIGION AND NATIONAL IDENTITY
Religious organisation and national identity
Church structure may mirror state structure
(and thus reinforce sense of collective identity)
Church structure may follow boundaries that later
become “national” ones
(e.g. church in Ireland)
Schism or doctrinal revolt may follow “national” lines
(e.g. Reformation)
Church reorganisation may follow “national” lines
•Lutheran monarchies, Anglicanism
•Autocephalous Orthodox churches (Balkans)

18. RELIGION AND NATIONAL IDENTITY
Religious labelling and national identity
Religious affiliation may be an indicator of
origin, and imply national identity
• Northern Ireland (Catholic Irish, Protestant
British)
• Poland (esp. in the past): Masurians
(Protestant)
• Lithuania (inter-war): Memellanders
(Protestant)
• Bulgaria: Pomaks (Muslim)
Note impact of historical divisions on (1)
religion and (2) identity; beware causation!
