ABSTRACT
The relationship between religion and political culture typically follows a chronological order: the latter necessarily comes after the former; but the intervention of political culture almost always influences and modifies religion, triggering an interaction mechanism that is characteristic of all natural processes. Thus religion and political culture enjoy a dialectical relationship, that is, that of reciprocal influence, insomuch that one sometimes assumes the appearance of the other and vice versa. The reaction of political culture to the social relevance of religion depends on both the strength of the relevance and the level of the political culture’s self-confidence. The reaction of political culture to the social relevance of religion depends on the intensity of this relevance and on the self-confidence of political culture. All religions, at one time or another, have migrated, breaking the umbilical cord with their place of origin and their cultures.
