In apparent contradiction to the phenomenon of globalisation, traditional religious affiliations are experiencing a resurgence, notably in alignment with populist nationalism. Examples include Russian Orthodoxy supporting President Putin, Evangelicalism aligning with former President Trump, Hindu supremacy associated with Prime Minister Modi, and conservative Islamism aligning with Turkish President Erdogan. In numerous instances, these established religions are strategically employed to garner political support from the populace. Although, on the surface, Britain and Japan may not exhibit a comparable surge of religious influence within the context of populist politics, there are discernible underlying currents in both nations. During this presentation, Professors Walters and Kato discussed and analysed the role of religion in both Britain and Japan, with a particular focus on the impact of globalisation and populist nationalism.
