The authors’ core argument is that religious-secular distinctions have been crucial to the way in which modern governments have rationalized their governance and staked out their sovereignty. Contributors bolster the argument through multidisciplinary perspectives, including history, anthropology, moral philosophy, theology and religious studies, combining theory with the detailed empirical analysis of contexts as diverse as India, Japan, Mexico, the U.S., Israel-Palestine, France, and the UK; thus, providing a multidimensional picture of how the category of religion has served the ends of modern government. Fourteen chapters are: Introduction; who is Madame M?; “Citizens” and their stance toward “religion; “a new form of government”; the category of “religion” in public classification; Sikhs, sovereignty and modern government; the ancestral, the religiopolitical; exclusive pluralism; capabilities, religionizing effects and contemporary Jewishness; government, university and the category of religion; negative liberty, liberal faith postulates and world disorder; the category of religion in the technology of governance; interrogating the categories; afterword.
