The nation state (secular space) to reduce the clash of religions

In certain eras, a religion/belief tends to come together to form a community which at a certain stage grows into a state, or sometimes as an official religion. During those times, countries/religions clashed with each other.


In the end because of the conflicting factors (external) and also internal conflict factors. There are divisions among religions. and subsequently each stream developed & spread to various areas. They mingle with each other, although in some cases there is still friction. some form settlements as group bases. And sometimes there is a change of faith in the family.


From the things above, the concept of separation of religion and state emerges. Symbolically, religion is given 'power' in the area of ​​places of worship, but the various elements agree to manage the territory of the nation into a secular state. which in English is called the concept of 'nation state'.

In fact, in certain countries, anti-religious forces emerged, such as communism-atheists


Even so, nation-states are often used as shields for sects against one another. sometimes there are alliances between sects from different religions 'taking control' of certain nation-states.

But at least the nation-state slightly dampens/clouds clashes between religions

Namely the worship of spirits / plants - worship of idols (statues made of stone, wood, metal etc.).
