Christian Nationalism
Christian nationalists are more focused on domestic politics, such as passing laws that reflect their view of Christianity. Characteristic radical forms of religious or church nationalism appeared on the political field in various European countries, especially during the interwar period in the first half of the 20th century.
In Europe, one of the most radical forms of Christian religious nationalism was Christoslavism, the belief that the Slavs can be exclusively Christians, and if they abandon this religion, they cease to be Slavs. As an example,
Bosniaks who converted to Islam were considered by the
Serbs as
Turks.
In Poland, a characteristic feature of nationalism has always been loyalty to the
Roman Catholic Church. Groups like
National Revival of Poland use slogans such as "Wielka Polska Katolicka (Greater Catholic Poland)" and violently protest against the legalization of
same-sex marriage and abortion.
In Russia, it is characterized by a common belonging to Orthodoxy. Many Russian
neo-Nazi movements, such as
Russian National Unity, are calling for an increased role for the
Russian Orthodox Church.
