Religious Nationalism

Religious Nationalism is a political ideology that incorporates religion into nationalism. This can be seen in many religions like Christianity, were you have god-fearing religious nut jobs who think the end is coming every year. Most of the people who subscribe to such doctrine are intolerant assholes who think secularism is taking away their rights and then proceeds to use their beliefs to take away the rights of others. Overall, they are the most unpleasant and hypocritical group in American politics. But, these people obviously exist outside American politics, like in India, were the caste system there has been largely defined by the Hindu nationalists and other religious groups that reside in the country. Many people who are incorporate religious nationalism into their beliefs are often fundamentalists who believe in the literal text of their books.

Person 1: Yo did you see that person who was forcing their beliefs onto others? He is a bit messed up in the head.
Person 2: Yeah, he might be one of those crazed religious nationalists. Religious nationalism is a disease, be careful.
