Is nationalism a secular religion, a replacement for nationalism, as Durkheim surmised? Or is it a meaning system that draws on religious resources for power? Do religious officials endorse or oppose nationalism and ethnicity? This lecture examines this question, probing the links between religion and nationalism, from ancient Israel to modern Islamism.
