Religious politics and political religion: Christian nationalism in contemporary Zambia

Religion continues to have great political importance around 바카라사이트 world. The rise of Hindu nationalism in India or 바카라사이트 debates about 바카라사이트 Christian character of 바카라사이트 European Union, for example, raise important questions such as: what are 바카라사이트 political effects of religious nationalism, how do changes in a religion’s political status affect ritual life, belief and practice, and is it possible for a religious state to protect 바카라사이트 rights of all its citizens, even those who fall outside 바카라사이트 religious boundaries it creates? At heart, such debates all boil down to 바카라사이트 question of 바카라사이트 appropriate role of religion in public life. This project will explore this through 바카라사이트 lens of Zambia, 바카라사이트 only African state to have declared that it is a Christian nation. This declaration has recently caused concern for international organisations such as 바카라사이트 United Nations because of 바카라사이트 questions it provokes about 바카라사이트 rights of sexual and religious minorities.
