“…However, there is no shortage of theories that religious beliefs and ideology (as opposed to legitimacy) may motivate a government to support a state religion. As noted, Kuru (2009, 21, 22) and Philpott (2009, 194) make this argument as do (Fox 2015, 42, 43;2018, 49-57), Grim and Finke (2011), Henne (2016), Schleutker (2021), Stark (2003), and Stark and Finke (2000), among many others. That is, while this could be framed as arguing that states in which religion is legitimate tend to be more likely to support religion, those who address religion's influence on state support for religion focus on facets of religion other than legitimacy, particularly religious ideology, to theorize about this relationship.…”

“…(Kuru 2019). Aside from these specific questions, scholars and researchers interested in the public role of religion also ask how and to what extent conflicts, including those associated with terrorism, migration and inter-ethnic disputes, are linked to religion (Haynes 2005;Cesari 2019;Henne 2016;Trinka 2019;Gürses and Öztürk 2020). Stimulated by recent developments in Europe, the USA, India, Brazil and elsewhere, scholars and researchers now examine how and why religion impacts on populism and nationalism (Ozturk 2019; Koesel 2014).…”
