Cross-National Investigation Into Religious Nationalism & Its Correlates Michael Pasek (UI Chicago)

Friday, April 25, 2025 Political Divisions and Morality: An Interdisciplinary Conversation A Cross-National Investigation Into Religious Nationalism and Its Correlates | Michael Pasek (UI Chicago) Scholars and the public alike are paying increasing attention to religious nationalism. For example, a growing body of research focusing on Christian nationalism in the United States demonstrates the ideology to be (1) fused with a threat-laced form of conservatism and (2) a threat on its own to democratic health. Yet, religious nationalism is a global phenomenon that manifests not only in Christian countries, but also in countries with different religious majorities, such as Jewish nationalism in Israel and Hindu nationalism in India. Despite this, relatively little scholarly work investigates the correlates of religious nationalism across geopolitical contexts and in countries with non-Christian majorities. To address this gap, we conducted quota-representative surveys in 9 countries with different religious makeups. Results demonstrate that, across contexts and forms of religious nationalism, religious nationalism was higher among those who were more politically conservative (vs liberal), and particularly high among those on the right who perceived greater threat from the political left. Even when controlling for political leaning, we also found that religious nationalism was a strong predictor of support for undemocratic practices and partisan violence across contexts.
