Abstract
The debate on the relationship between politics and religion is primarily the subject of analysis in the sociology of religion and the theory of international relations in Social Science. While each of these fields endorses different approaches to study their interdependency the individual's perception of religion and politics is neglected by current research. The faithful, who takes part in religious ceremonies, listening and behaving according to particular religious teachings, actively engaging in the liturgical life of the institutional form of his religion, has a particular way of understanding the relationship between religion and politics.1 Though, this aspect is under-researched and misrepresented in the literature of international relations and sociology.2 Conversely, a more intricate analysis is offered by the study of nationalism, and especially by its ethnosymbolic approach, which includes at the micro and macro societal level the presence of myths and symbols as part of the individual's and the nation's life.
