Personality, Politics, and Religion Reference library
Amanda Friesen
The Oxford Encyclopedia of Politics and Religion
...of politics—whether it be political parties or group interests—is more like religion than personality and often feeds off of a charismatic leader. The influence of the cult of personality parallels between politicians and pastors, and the supporting structures of institutional religion and political systems, formalize this influence. Personality is often understood as the medium through which individuals express and validate their religious and political leanings. Religious and political frameworks necessitate beliefs about the world, human nature, and...

Lincoln Allison
A Concise Oxford Dictionary of Politics and International Relations (4 ed.)
...Christian, and Islamic religions, the religious concern is concentrated onto a single God who is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient, the creator of the universe. Religion is therefore normally of huge ethical significance. What people ought to do is derivable from the existence, nature, and will of God. It would be difficult to be seriously religious in any sense without that religion determining some of one’s political beliefs. Indeed, the most natural relation between religion and politics is one in which the most important political questions have...

... and Politics Religion relates to politics in a number of ways. First, it interacts with the nation-state, which is now the standard political arrangement throughout the global community. Second, many religions are powerful worldwide forces and, thus, affect international arrangements. Third, religious conflicts can intensify divisions within and between states. Fourth, religious values are often invoked to justify and legitimize political action and political arrangements, and this links in with ways in which it affects voting behavior and other...

...and secular humanism, and in the Enlightenment would coalesce politically in classical eighteenth-century liberalism and theologically in deism. Carried, at times inadvertently, by European and American expansion, colonialism, and education around the globe, these philosophical views and their successors would change the relationships between the world's faith traditions and the political states in which they were found, as reflected, for example, in what has been called “American civil religion” and its often troubled relationships with foreign and...

Oxford Companion to Australian Politics
... and politics Although habituated to politics as a secular activity, political science is now confronted by an international scene dominated by terrorists openly professing religious conviction. Through its secular lenses, the academy has viewed the historical connections between religion and politics but dimly. Yet the association has been protracted and intimate. The world's first Democracy for example was wreathed in religious observance and scruple. Indeed, for the Athenians, religious, political, and social life was continuous. In a hostile stand...

The Oxford Companion to American Politics
... and Politics The story of American politics and its intertwined relationship with American religion goes back to the earliest days of the new nation, and the roots of this sometimes conflicted, sometimes complementary relationship stretch back further still, to the beginning of European settlement. Debates about the role of religious faith in politics began with the new Republic, and courts, governments, and the American way of political campaigns have frequently veered between frank expression of religious identity and the assertion of a religiously...

Publication dates of experimental studies in religion and politics. Source : Data and figure from authors. The data are limited to studies reviewed in this article.

In essence, experiments in religion and politics model a...

...Strife, Politics, and Religion in Algeria Introduction The genealogy of the Islamist phenomenon in Algeria dates back to the country’s colonial history, which largely explains why politics and religion are intertwined in the country today. Islam in Algeria is not simply the religion of 99% of the population (CIA World Factbook 2018 ). More than in any other Middle Eastern or North African society, this religion constitutes the central foundation of identity and culture. Islamic beliefs and practices regulate social behavior and largely govern social...

...a fundamental human right, and government and political agencies do not privilege any one religion over another. Governments at this stage have low levels of legal restrictions on religion and experience low levels of social hostilities and violence toward religion ( Grim, 2012 ; Pew, 2014a , 2014b ). Societies that merely tolerate religion, which are given the grade of B minus (meaning, needs improvement), begin to see increases in government regulation of religion and increases in social hostilities. As those regulations and hostilities increase, a...

The authors cite Hout and Fischer ( 2002 ) and Putnam, Campbell, and Garrett ( 2010 ) , who theorized religiously conservative activism (the Religious Right) in the 1970s through 1990s against legal abortion and marriage equality was perceived by people—and young adults in particular—as alienating and judgmental. Their negative reactions, according to this theory, pushed some people away from associating with religions. A second theory, the effect of delays in marriage, attempts to link the social and...

It also stressed the role of religion in establishing a society of knowledge and liberty. These statements should fit into a new paradigm that would re-establish the connection between culture, religion and human rights/women's rights discourse and activism in the region. Finally we have to stress the link between the empowerment of women and larger ambitions of change such as security, peace, stability, accountability and equal citizenship. Not...

In a religious society, it is not religion per se that arbitrates, but some understanding of religion which is, in turn, changing, rational, and in harmony with the consensual and accepted extrareligious criteria. F. Religious society is the supporter, sponsor, source, and succor of the religious politics. Without a religious society, the religious democratic government would be inconceivable. The above synopsis provides a valid starting point and a correct formu-lation of—if not an actual...

...of seduction and intimidation, and the pomp of force and power with which they surrounded the institution of the caliphate. This institution has nothing in common with religious functions, no more than the judiciary and the other essential functions and machinery of power and state. All these functions are purely political; they have nothing to do with religion. Religion neither admits nor denies them. It neither orders nor forbids them. It simply leaves them to our free choice so that we will have recourse to rational judgement in their regard and base our...
