Hijacked or Hooked? : Religion in Populist Politics in Germany
(2019) p.96-107- Abstract
- For populists inside and outside of the German parliaments, Christianity is about belonging rather than believing. Yet identity politics are politics of exclusion that stifle democratic participation. In order to escape the anti-pluralist populist pattern, a starting point is to recognise Germany for what it is: a country whose citizens share multiple cultures and identities, all of which need to be included in political life. Theologically, such inclusion is both a challenge and a chance.
