there are many things about American nationalism that really resemble a religion, imagine it like this, every morning at school you pray to a flag and your classmates accompany you in the ritual, that flag is so important that an athlete makes national news for having a pose that’s considered against the flag code. then suddenly your state dicides those teams that don’t play the national anthem aren’t faithful enough, so let’s stop the funding. and you’ve got “in God we trust” on your dollors, and your supreme court says it’s not religious, and votes for it to remain this way. and your politicians always pray at the end of their speeches, and everyone believes in a redemption called the American Dream^TM , and guns are the holy objects that are held more valuable than human lives, and then you’ve got this superiority complex that makes you think your the most righteous. should I go on and talk about evangelicals too?
at what point does it stop being just nationalism and becomes a religion? considering that most definitions of religion don’t even exclude fandoms or consumerism, it’s not controversial to say that.
now does Norway really compare to this? when was the last time you invaded a country because God had told your president to do so? what you describe is more like trying to remain a nation with the same collective identity.
