'''Religious Nationalism''' is an ideology that incorporates religion into nationalism. It seeks to use a shared religion to unite people under a national identity. It typically holds reactionary and intolerant views towards members of other religions, but not always. Religious nationalism is compatible with practically any religion, including [[File:Hind.png]] Hinduism, [[File:Christy.png]] Christianity, [[File:Muslim 2.png]] Islam, [[File:JewTheo.png]] Judaism, [[File:Bud.png]] Buddhism, etc.

==History and Variants==
 
Ideologically driven religious nationalism may not necessarily be directed against other religions, but may be formulated in response to modernity and, in particular, as secular. The imbalance between religious and political aspects and, by appealing to national feelings, such as Islamic identity, as has often been the case in [[File:Cball-Pakistan.png]] Pakistan and [[File:Cball-Indonesia.png]] Indonesia, can lead to regional tensions.
 
In general, many types of nationalism carry religious aspects, but as a marker of group identity, not as an intrinsic motivation for nationalist claims.

===[[File:ChristNat.png]] Christian Nationalism===
 
Christian nationalists are more focused on domestic politics, such as passing laws that reflect their view of Christianity. In the [[File:Cball-US.png]] United States, Christian nationalism tends to lean towards [[File:Conservative.png]] [[Conservatism]]. Characteristic radical forms of religious or church nationalism appeared in the right spectrum ofon the political field in various European countries, especially during the interwar period in the first half of the 20th century.
 
In Europe, one of the most radical forms of Christian religious nationalism was Christoslavism, the belief that the [[File:PanSlav.png]] Slavs can be exclusively Christians, and if they abandon this religion, they cease to be Slavs. As an example, [[File:Cball-BosniaHerzegovina.png]] Bosniaks who converted to Islam were considered by the [[File:Cball-Serbia.png]] Serbs as [[File:Ottoman.png]] Turks. Christoslavism was used as an ideological justification for the persecution (as well as eventual genocide) of [[File:Cball-BosniaHerzegovina.png]] Bosniaks during the Yugoslav wars.

===[[File:BuddNat.png]] Buddhist Nationalism===
 
In the context of [[File:Cball-Myanmar.png]] Myanmar’s political opening since March 2011, Buddhist activism has made headlines over the past two years due to outbreaks of communal violence across the country marked by religious differencedifferences, notably anti-Muslim, that threaten to derail Myanmar’s once-promising transition. Many see a connection between these violent episodes and the rise of new Buddhist networks and organizations, including the ''969'' movement and the ''Patriotic Association of Myanmar''. <ref>https://www.politics.ox.ac.uk/research-projects/understanding-buddhist-nationalism-in-myanmar-religion-gender-identity-and-conflict-in-a-political-transition.html</ref>
 
Sinhalese Buddhist nationalism is influenced by Sinhalese Buddhist mytho-history that was deployed by monks and politicians in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries to assert that [[File:Cball-SriLanka.png]] Sri Lanka is the designated sanctuary for Theravada Buddhism, belongs to Sinhalese Buddhists, and Tamils and others live there only due to Sinhalese Buddhist sufferance. This ideology has enabled majority superordination, minority subordination, and a separatist war waged by the ''Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE)''. <ref>https://www.eastwestcenter.org/publications/sinhalese-buddhist-nationalist-ideology-implications-politics-and-conflict-resolution-s</ref>
