  5. Important Concepts • National “Religions” • Not actually “religions;” rather, nations hold certain ideas as sacred • Two Types: • Civil Religions = Government is subject to society • E.g.

  6. Important Concepts • The Nation vs. The State • The Nation = A group of people who feel that they share a common life and a common destiny • The State = A powerful group that holds the ability to use force • Whoever is “in charge” of any region (no matter how they accomplish this control)
