VIŠEVERSKI KARAKTER DRUŠTVA I POLITIČKA
STABILNOST DRŽAVE
Rezime
Država može
da opstane ako njeno stanovništvo u velikoj većini
smatra legitimnim opstajanje takve zajednice. Zato je značajno
analizirati kako viševerski karakter jedne zajednice utiče
na političku stabilnost države
koja je od te zajednice stvorena ili je toj zajednici nametnuta. Ova druga
činjenica
je važna za razumevanje problema, jer
su neke višekonfesionalne zajednice nastale
željom
raznih verskih grupa, kakav je slučaj
sa SAD, a druge su postale prisilom, osvajanjem inovernih naroda, kakva
je bila osmanska carevina. Analizirana su tri slučaja:
SAD, Liban i Albanija. Uzete su oni zato što imaju veoma izraženu
višereligioznost. U njima je stanovništvo podeljeno na više verskih
grupa. Pritom, druga dva slučaja se razlikuju od prvog, zato što
prvi ima relativno stabilne međukonfesionalne
odnose, što se za druge dve ne može
reći. Razlike postoje i u načinu
na koji se međukonfesionalni odnosi
uređuju ili pokušavaju urediti.

MULTIRELIGIOUS CHARACTER OF A SOCIETY AND POLITICAL
STABILITY OF A STATE
Summary
A state may subsist if its population by high majority considers the survival
of such a community legitimate. For that reason it is significant to analyze
how a multi-religious character of a community affects the political stability
of the state created from the said community or imposed to it. The latter
fact is important for the apprehension of the problem, because some multidenominational
communities have come to existence united by a commonly shared wish of
different religious groups, as it is the case with the United States, while
others were formed by force, after a conquest of non-coreligious nations,
as it was the case with the Ottoman Empire. Three cases have been analyzed:
the United States of America, Lebanon and Albania. They were chosen because
of their very pronounced multireligiousness. Their population is divided
into several religious groups. Still, the last two cases differ from the
first one because the first has relatively stable inter-denominational
relations, which does not apply to the last two. Differences are also present
in the ways in which their inter-denominational relations are regulated
or are attempted to be regulated.
Key words: state, religion, nation, denomination, multireligious community
