Religious politics and political religion: Christian nationalism in contemporary Zambia
Religion continues to have great political importance around the world. The rise of Hindu nationalism in India or the debates about the Christian character of the European Union, for example, raise important questions such as: what are the political effects of religious nationalism, how do changes in a religion’s political status affect ritual life, belief and practice, and is it possible for a religious state to protect the rights of all its citizens, even those who fall outside the religious boundaries it creates? At heart, such debates all boil down to the question of the appropriate role of religion in public life. This project will explore this through the lens of Zambia, the only African state to have declared that it is a Christian nation. This declaration has recently caused concern for international organisations such as the United Nations because of the questions it provokes about the rights of sexual and religious minorities.
