520 |a The article argues that it is the role of religion to provide values that delineate national identity. This role is not universal, but it applies to a great variety of societies, including secular ones. The case chosen is Israel, because secularization was an integral part of its ideology.

The internal contradiction between basing national identity on emphatically secular values that are justified by religious ones caused a crisis of identity. A new religiously-based national identity is becoming increasingly widespread in Israel.
