ABSTRACT
Nationalism is a name for the fervor of proximal unity in politics, especially in the face of perceived threat. Under the umbrella of monotheism, nationalism is the dream of a seamless, confirming reflection of the divine in the nation, and vice versa: ein Reich, ein Gott. It is also the dream of a seamless, confirming reflection of the divine in the people, an ethnosexual mirror of identity: ein Folk.1
