Talk:Civil religion

message: I reverted a recent edit that changed the line concerning the "invocation of a god" on public monuments , etc.  The Ara Pacis, cited as an example of civil religion later in the text, is not dedicated to "God" as the capital G word is currently understood.  The text should cover all of these bases.  Smerdis of Tlön 02:20, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  "A god" instead of "[[God]]" 

message: I think the article on Political religion should be subsumed with this one.
Everything I read on this shouts "Nationalism".

thread_title:  Merge with political religion 

message: In France, because of the country's traditions of civil religion, there are unusual ceremonies of secular baptisms, sometimes called republican baptisms. It could be maybe be mentioned in the article as a peculiar kind of child sponsorship.  ADM (talk) 04:56, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Secular baptisms

message: saying "I do solemnly affirm..." does not imply mention of God would be expected. The option of affirming instead of swearing is made to accommodate religious groups that consider swearing wrong, such as Quakers.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.167.17.12 (talk) 17:11, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Affirmation vs. Swearing

message: There are so many things wrong with the section on Classical antiquity (which I separated out from the History section) that I don't even know how to start discussing it. But since I tagged it for factual accuracy, I wanted to open the discussion here. First of all, there's no such thing as "Classical paganism" except from the later point of view of Christianity; Christian polemic lumped various religions practiced in ancient Greece and Rome together as "paganism," but the religious practices of classical Athens, for instance, are a world apart from the traditional Roman religion (sometimes called the "religion of Numa") that was "revived" and innovated upon by Augustus, giving rise to Imperial cult. There seems to be confusion in this section between "civil religion" and "state religion" or "public religion." Will try to help, but I'm not sure where to start.

replies: text: I agree on the paganism part. It´s good though you have´nt erased the whole page as some do... However I do not agree on the latter part on confusion of terms. The field is highly debated and confused in its self, so any nitpicking about the concepts would be, lets say, childish. More relevant would be mentioning the confusion WITH some academic references, which you did´nt mention. FINginga (talk) 11:52, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Classical antiquity 

message: I do not see this article containing original research. Would someone be more precise about that? If no answer, at some point later I´ll check the article and erase the note. FINginga (talk) 12:15, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Please don't remove the tag. See, for instance, the substantial sections that have no footnotes at all. Of course, if you want to provide sources for these claims, that would be super. Otherwise, the tag should remain unless these sections are deleted. Cynwolfe (talk) 13:33, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: the issue of missing citations is entirely separate. Delete tag. Rjensen (talk) 12:03, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
