Nationalism, Populism, Religion, and the Quest To Reframe Fundamental Rights

Year: 2020
Type: article
Abstract: The article examines how nationalism and populism have increasingly utilized religion to challenge the principles of institutional secularism, which is foundational to liberal constitutional democracies. It argues that these forces exploit the interplay between religion and secularism to undermine pluralism and promote exclusionary agendas. The analysis highlights the tension between institutional secularism, which seeks to separate state and religion, and the contemporary repoliticization of religion, which threatens the pluralistic ethos essential to liberal constitutionalism.
