Examines the impact of religion on Australia's 2004 federal election & the nature of the religious debate in light of the increase in insecurity since 11 September 2001. Although political appeals to "Christian tribalism" have recently been successful in Australian politics, it is contended that they have the potential to strain inter-religious harmony, aggravate tensions between Islam & the West, & promote secularist demands for a strict separation of church & state. The issue of state funding for denominational schools is discussed, along with public reactions to Treasurer Peter Costello's emphasis on the importance of "faith" in people's lives; the role of evangelical Christians in the federal election campaign; recent challenges to the traditional opinion that churches shouldn't get involved in partisan politics; the post 9/11 focus on religious issues by cultic religious groups; & the erosion of respect for mainstream churches. The biggest problem facing democratic pluralism is said to be fundamentalism of any religious persuasion, not just Islamic fundamentalism, & suggestions are made for ways to limit its political impact.

In Australia, religion historically has been seen as a secondary but nonetheless significant sociopolitical cleavage, in part cutting across the class divide. In recent times, Australian scholars, like those elsewhere, have been inclined to argue that the political significance of religion is a legacy of the past & that religion no longer plays an important role in shaping mass political behavior. Although class is also said to have declined in political significance, it is still treated as being of some importance as a cornerstone of the party system. However, many scholars seem more willing to dismiss the relevance of religion altogether. Using sample survey data collected over more than 25 years, this article examines the role of religion in modern Australian electoral politics & assesses the adequacy of such arguments. 6 Tables, 4 Figures, 31 References.

An examination of historical problems created by religion highlights claims that one's power is a direct product of a Divine Right that gives a particular nation or leader a monopoly on truth. Germany Chancellor Gerhard Schroder said he was shocked when US President George W. Bush confided that he was "driven with a mission from God." Historians recognize that the current conflicts between the West & the Islamic world are rooted in the Age of Crusades & Arabic conquests in Europe when those of one religion fought peoples of other faiths to expand their own spheres of influence. It is argued that diversity is at the core of human evolution & no one can claim a monopoly on truth. Religion is a weighty factor in today's global rivalry & confrontations over different values & development models, as well as many other urgent global issues, including the current financial crisis. Emphasis is placed on the critical need to recognize the problems created by religion's mounting impact before it is too late. J. Lindroth
