Describe civil religion

What will be an ideal response?


According to Robert Bellah, civil religions are collections of beliefs, and rituals for communicating those beliefs, that exist outside religious institutions. Often they are attached to the state, as in socialist societies. Certain forms of American patriotism also amount to civil religion--reverence for the flag or the Statue of Liberty, recital of the Pledge of Allegiance, and prayers to a nonsectarian god.
