Państwa narodowe i obecność symboli religijnych w przestrzeni publicznej
Journal Title: Studia Ełckie - Year 2018, Vol 20, Issue 4
Abstract
National states, in search of their national identity, refer to symbols, among which religious symbols occupy one of the main places. For many decades, the presence of religious symbols, which were also national symbols, constituted an important element of upbringing and strengthening the sense of citizenship and belonging to a given state. In recent years new trends have emerged that question the presence of religious symbols as a national or state symbol. Attempts are made to reduce the rank of a religious symbol or its denial from the presence of the nation’s life. However, this sense of national identity, strengthening by the symbols present in the life of the nation, build the state understood as the common good of the whole nation.
