	Republicanism
		Republicanism refers to both the advocacy for this form of government and the ideology of this movement.
		For women, "Republican Motherhood" became an ideal, as exemplified by Abigail Adams ; the first duty of the republican woman was to instill republican values in the children, and to avoid luxury and ostentation.
		These Polish republicans such as Lukasz Gornicki, Andrzej Wolan, and Stanislaw Konarski were well read in classical and Renaissance texts and firmly believed that their state was a Republic on the Roman model and called their state the Rzeczpospolita.

		All great monarchies had their state religion, in the case of pharaohs and some emperors this could even lead to a religion where the monarchs (or their dynasty) were endowed with a god-like status (see for example imperial cult).
		Over time there were various mixtures of republicanism along with democratic theories of the rights of individuals, which (for instance in the Age of Enlightenment) would find expression in the formation of liberal and socialist parties.
		See Republicanism in the United States for the connotations of the terms "democracy" and "republic" in the 1787 context when this article was written.

	Republicanism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Republicanism is the ideology of governing a nation as a republic, with an emphasis on Liberty and ruled by the people.
		The collapse of the Commonwealth of England in 1660 and the restoration of the monarchy under Charles II discredited republicanism among England's ruling circles.
		In general the ruling classes of the 18th century vehemently opposed republicanism, as typified by the attacks on John Wilkes, and especially by the wars to overthrow the American Revolution and the French Revolution.

	Israeli Civil Religion
		A state's civil religion has to be equally applied to all those of its citizens who see themselves as patriots to that state, and who maintain all the ideas connected with that patriotism and with the attributes of that state.
		According to the principles of freedom of religion as spelled out by the founding document of the State, the Declaration of Independence, civil religion is granted equal religious standing in so far as the individual's rights in Israel are concerned (which according to the concepts of the Declaration is the citizens' rights).
		A distinguishing feature of civil religion in states whose populations originate from many different lands (like the USA, Canada and Israel), is the members' total severing of emotional ties with the history of the countries or people that they originated from before arriving in their new country.

	Faith of Our Forefathers (May 1998) - Library of Congress Information Bulletin
		This conviction rested on the belief that there was one true religion and that it was the duty of the civil authorities to impose it, forcibly if necessary, in their jurisdictions in the interest of saving the souls of all citizens.
		That religion was necessary for "public prosperity" was an opinion that found expression not only in Congress but in the state legislatures of the new American republic as well.
		The connection between religion and the public welfare seemed so obvious to the public at large that it was articulated by its representatives at every level of government.

	Popular Religion in China
		Popular religion creates objects of charismatic authority using rituals and stories that are like those of established tradition in many respects, but because they surround the charisma of demonic power, their figures tend to be heterodox and unruly.
		For the whole twentieth century, republican governments attacked 'superstition', by which they meant the popular cults and their temples and the kinds of healing, spirit-mediumship and divination that they supported, as well as the more threatening sectarian and millenarian movements.
		The most thorough and extreme of attacks came in the years of the Cultural Revolution (1966-76), when both religion and superstition were eliminated, their buildings destroyed or put to use as storehouses, offices, or schools, and their statues and liturgical books destroyed or hidden.

		Whether the Americans had the character needed for republicanism to succeed posed a frightening circumstance because the hard won liberties and freedoms were dependent for their continuance upon the formation of a virtuous society.
		To pinpoint the demise of republicanism is difficult because it faded gradually; however, at the turn of the century Theodore Roosevelt with all of his contempt of danger and love of valor, articulated republican ideals on several occasions.
		The place of republican values is evident in the first catalog for 1909-1910 where the aim for the school is stated: "To fit a girl for life involves a constant care in matters of virtue, purity, truthfulness and simplicity.

	Sins of the Fathers
		A leading authority on the history of American religion, Edwin S. Gaustad received his Ph.D. in History from Brown University in 1951 and is the retired Chairman of the Department of History, University of California, Riverside.
		Religion and liberty is a theme so significant and (in the First Amendment) a consequence so momentous that it is difficult to imagine causal connections being ignored in the pre-Revolutionary era.
		Most of the founding fathers, sympathetic with and influenced by the European Enlightenment, saw religion - natural religion, that is - as a potential good, but with equal clarity they saw the religions of existing institutions and religions based on a fixed scriptural revelation as meddlesome, wrong-headed and hopelessly obsolete.

	Pandagon :: Republicanism is the religion? :: January :: 2006
		The people who are trying to insert themselves into positions of authority in government, through the Republican Party, ought to be awfully careful, because the same state that takes them in is a state that can turn around and, if it chooses to, by using the same authority, begin seriously to condition their behavior.
		Christianity as practiced by right wing fundies is a wholely owned subsidiary of the Republican party at this point in time, with values and beliefs being cherry-picked by politically minded leaders to maximize voter turnout for the Republicans and, in turn, their own power.
		And of course it’s useful for Republicans to have a base that believes the end of the world is coming soon, so they aren’t likely to have a problem with things like pollution and an enormous national debt.

	[No title]
		So religion has been left to its official functionaries, prescribing articles of belief and terms of salvation by a divine right,--legislation to princes and nobles, equally claiming by the same right to give law in temporals; and so of other general interests.
		But the indistinct apprehension, why the advantages of the division of labor fail in the matter of government, accords well with the observation, that republican principles make slow progress in the world, are held in gross inconsistencies; and the most zealous assertors thereof in one department, are oft found most strenuously opposed in others.
		And, though this spirit may not always go forth in accordance with the teaching of that religion, it is none the less true, that such was its source; mind being awake, enterprising, on the track of improvement, only where a lively faith in Christianity has kindled the flame.

	Republicanism As Religion
		To modern Republicans, political affiliation is far more than a measure of how one will vote, it is a measure of what kind of person one is, of whether one is worthy of compassion or neglect.
		The emphasis on those issues gradually drew religious conservatives into the Republican party and the simple expediant of continually linking conservatism with desireable traits and liberalism with undesireable ones, the allegiance of the religious conservatives was gradually transferred from their faith to their party.
		The result was a religion which exists not to assure it's adherants their place in the afterlife or even to make them better people but to achieve and maintain earthly power for the extreme-right.

		Noll explained that Americans have become so accustomed to think of the values of religion and republicanism as supporting each other that it is difficult for them to understand why defenders of traditional religion once looked with such suspicion on republican convictions.
		He noted that the religious republicanism of the United States was possible because of the ideological flexibility and the absence of a vigorous church establishment.

		Many seemed in favor of a secular republicanism in which religion was excluded from politics altogether, as it was in Turkey during the rule of that country's modernizing dictator, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk.
		From their vantage point inside a theocracy, young Iranians long for ''a wall of separation'' between religion and government, as Thomas Jefferson called it, and they told me they found it puzzling, even disappointing, that religion and politics are not actually separate in the United States.
		Republicans, of course, were the ones who had always excelled at framing controversial issues, having invented and popularized loaded phrases like ''tax relief'' and ''partial-birth abortion'' and having achieved a kind of Pravda-esque discipline for disseminating them.

	Varieties of Civil Religion
		Even religions that seem to be much more intrinsically political, such as Islam or Confucianism, have for most of their histories been involved in uneasy and unhappy alliances with state power.
		Just as religion was much more open and pervasive at local and even state levels through most of our history than it ever was at the federal level, so the state as educator, and educator in the sphere of values, was widely accepted at lower jurisdictional levels.
		As a classic theorist of republican government would, Tocqueville saw that naked self-interest is the surest solvent of a republican regime, and he saw the commercial tendencies of the American people as unleashing the possibility of the unrestrained pursuit of self-interest.

		Sherrill, too, had misgivings about civil religion and its uses and abuses: "So much of it out there goes unacknowledged and unstudied that can be more dangerous than useful; it can be used to create fraudulent sentiments," he said.
		Civil religion is too deeply embedded in the fabric of American society to unravel.
		Elimination of civil religion would require revoking or redacting the Declaration of Independence, sandblasting the Lincoln and Jefferson memorials, and banning all of the nation's holidays.

		Instead, he hints that this voice is confused and untutored, and that the conflicting passions of religion have required guidance from the Reason embodied in the natural rights philosophy.

		Hence, it behooves us to find new ways and means for religion to play its role in public life without sacrificing the democratic benefits of church-state separation.
		One of the ways to do so in a manner compatible with democracy is by emphasizing the covenantal basis of both religion and democratic republicanism.

		English republicanism's brief career followed the Puritan Revolution, civil war, deposition and execution of Charles I for tyranny when England was declared to be "a Commonwealth or Free State." Oliver Cromwell sought to fill the void left by the regicide with new governing institutions.
		The political theory of republicanism was explicitly identified with Aristotle's mixed regime as the "free commonwealth" he ultimately preferred as the best practicable form of government because monarchy was too vulnerable to derailment and perversion into tyranny.
		At the bottom of republicanism lies a philosophical anthropology of the kind I have limned, one that exists solely in the hearts and minds of individuals; that anthropology is basic to the claim of human dignity.
