Acid Horizon
Imperial Secularization: Religion and Colonial Power
This chapter examines the intricate relationship between colonial empires and secularization, arguing that secularization often aligns with colonial interests rather than being a separate entity. It highlights the evolution of the term 'imperiality' and explores how historical narratives in Western empires intertwined religious and secular authority, particularly in the context of Christianity's influence on governance. The analysis delves into the evolving notions of empire, focusing on the Napoleonic Empire's approach to North Africa and the dynamics of political theology, ultimately recontextualizing secularization within colonial power structures.
