الحروب الدينية و صعود الدولة بمفهومها الحديث

الملخص EN

This research is based on the analysis of one of the most prominent historical examples presented in the study of religious violence and the rise of the modern state: "Religious wars." We will examine in the first moment how in the period of religious reform, Christians were divided into conflicting religious communities, and Catholics and Protestants began to fight, in wars that lasted through a century of tension and chaos, showing the West the danger inherent in public religion.

In a second moment, we will call for some political theories that the solution to this crisis is to engage in the system of religious tolerance and the rise of the modern state.

Ecclesiastical loyalty has been marginalized, and time power has secured the appropriation of means of violence.

From that moment on, religious communities were able to unite on the basis of loyalty to a state with civil sovereignty and religious neutrality.

Finally, we will conclude that the story of religious wars is not just an objective history, but an ideological tying of changes in the systems of power in Europe, particularly the shift of loyalty from religious power to temporal power
