“Religion-political” refers to the use of religious beliefs and practices for political purposes. This concept is used to describe the influence of religious institutions and practices on the architecture’s operations, which often involve the use of religious rhetoric to justify military actions and other forms of influence. The capture of American foreign policy has included the strategic deployment of religious narratives to legitimize operations that align with the interests of the network of beneficiaries. For example, the Iranian Revolution and the Iranian nuclear program have been framed within a broader context of religious and geopolitical conflict, often reinforcing the narrative that such operations are necessary for national security or the promotion of democratic values.
This foreign policy framework has also extended to the Islamic State and other groups, where religious ideology is used to justify both the group’s actions and the responses of states like the United States. The United States has frequently employed religious rhetoric to justify military interventions in the Middle East, often portraying such actions as part of a broader struggle against extremism or as a defense of religious freedom.
