Unlike conventional approaches that treat religion as an ideological outlier in political systems, this innovative volume centers the nation as a transformative force on religious identities and political dynamics. Through a multidisciplinary lens that draws from political science, anthropology, history, and religious studies, a diverse panel of scholars illuminates how national communities continuously reshape intersections between civic morality, political power, and collective religious identity. The Companion spans diverse historical periods and religious traditions while addressing urgent contemporary issues such as multiculturalism, race and ethnicity, gender rights, and the globalization of religious communities. By breaking down traditional dichotomies—such as the assumption that religion's political presence is abnormal or isolates domestic from international influences—the Companion offers a novel analytical framework to navigate these complex interactions. In-depth chapters synthesize and critique leading theories, bridge critical gaps in existing scholarship, and present comparative case studies that explore both well-studied and underrepresented regions and contexts.
