Question

Discuss the concept of civil religion.in 250 words​

Answer 1

Answer:

Civil religion, also referred to as a civic religion,[1] is the implicit religious values of a nation, as expressed through public rituals, symbols (such as the national flag), and ceremonies on sacred days and at sacred places (such as monuments, battlefields, or national cemeteries). It is distinct from churches, although church officials and ceremonies are sometimes incorporated into the practice of civil religion.[2] Countries described as having a civil religion include France,[3] South Korea,[1] the former Soviet Union,[4] and the United States.[5][6][7] As a concept, it originated in French political thought and became a major topic for U.S. sociologists since its use by Robert Bellah in 1960.
