Question

In a nation state what role does shared religion play

Answer 1

Religion (and other civic associations) provide an outlet for public opinion that is often critical of the nation-state.

Outlawing religion doesn't work unless there are no other civic institutions such as unions, political parties, and local governments.

Religion is always the way to speak out against the nation-state even if the leaders are chosen by the state because the prayers of groups of men can be done without leaders.

Answer 2

Answer:

Most people share the same religion.

Explanation:

The state is made up of the institutions that administer and laws that control a nation. In the case of Brazil, the country is governed by the Federal Constitution, ordinary laws, decrees, etc.  On the other hand, a nation comprises cultural elements that form its identity, such as language, traditions, customs, beliefs, etc. The country is defined by the geographical location where the state is established.

A nation state, in turn, is a type of sovereign political-territorial society, formed by a nation, a state, and a territory. That is, the nation-state brings together the legal system and all state institutions, including the people, the armed forces and its own currency, all its culture and its values ​​in a well-defined geographical location.

In a nation state, most people share the same religion. The purpose of this shared religion is to make the inhabitants of the nation state share a common vision in pursuit of the same ideals.
