'''''Religious Rejectionism''''' is an ideology that rejects politics for religious reasons. He is extremely similar to regular apoliticism, as neither holds a political belief, though the latter has the excuse that he does not partake in politics because he believes it interferes with his religious practices. It can also represent religious people who are against involvement in politics for non-religious reasons. |

"The biblical view is not just apolitical but antipolitical in the sense that it refuses to confer any value on political power, or in the sense that it regards political power as idolatrous."
Religious Rejectionism is an ideology that rejects politics for religious reasons. He is extremely similar to regular apoliticism, as neither holds a political belief, though the latter has the excuse that he does not partake in politics because he believes it interferes with his religious practices. It can also represent religious people who are against involvement in politics for non-religious reasons.
Reasoning
There are multiple religious reasons why one might reject involvement in politics, especially democratic politics:
- The belief that the religious identity of a person should be their most important identity. As such focusing on secular politics goes against your religion.
- The belief that sovereignty is ordained by divine right, and as such to mess with sovereignty is to mess with the divine.
- The rejection of the legitimacy of the state one lives in based on religious reasons, therefore rejecting the politics of that state.
- The belief that secular politics is a distraction from religious activities and that they should not get involved.
Some faiths explicitly reject politics, including:
Personality
