Abstract
The analysis of relationship between national identity and religion is complex because of the lack of a legitimate definition of these two objects of study. From the fields of sociology of religion and theory of nationalism, this article aims to develop an analytical framework to account for this relationship. Firstly, we problematize these two objects of study from their definitions and epistemological breaks that have allowed rethink them in other theoretical domains. Secondly, we deepen these relations, paying attention to the role of historical religion as a marker of national identity and to the role of the sacralization of history and territory that make plausible an imaginary of continuity. To show its potential, this analytical framework will be applied to Quebec and the Basque Country from a comparative perspective.
