Religious Nationalism defines nation through a common religion. If a state derives it’s legitimacy in conjunction with religious doctrines, we can characterize it more as a theocracy, rather as a nation-state. In reality, most ethnic and cultural nationalisms have religious aspect in their core. Religion is the marker of a group identity and it is not the motivation for nationalistic demands and pretensions (for example, Irish nationalism)[1].
