Hristiyan devletler

Hristiyanlığı devlet dini olarak kabul eden ülkeler mavi renktedir.

Hristiyan devlet, Hristiyanlığın herhangi bir biçimini resmi din olarak tanıyan ve genellikle bir Hristiyan mezhebine ait, devlet tarafından desteklenen ve devleti destekleyen bir devlet kilisesine (aynı zamanda yerleşik kilise olarak da adlandırılır)[1] sahip olan ülkedir.[2]

Tarihte, Ermenistan,[3] Habeşistan,[4] Gürcistan,[5] Roma İmparatorluğu ve Bizans İmparatorluğu kendilerini Hristiyan devleti olarak ilan ettiler.[6][7]

Günümüzde birçok ulus resmi olarak kendilerini Hristiyan devleti olarak tanımlar veya devlet kiliselerine sahiptir. Bu ülkeler arasında Ermenistan, Kosta Rika,[8] Danimarka (Grönland dahil), İngiltere, Etiyopya, Faroe Adaları, Gürcistan, Yunanistan,[9] Macaristan,[10] İzlanda, Lihtenştayn,[11] Malta,[12] Monako, Norveç,[13] Samoa,[14] Tonga,[15] Tuvalu,[16] Vatikan,[17] ve Zambiya[18] vardır. Hristiyan bir devlet, seküler bir devlet[19] ateist bir devlet,[20] Yahudi devleti[21] veya bir İslam devleti gibi başka bir dini devletle zıtlık içindedir.[22]

The Catholic State of Vatican City is, of course, the best contemporary example of a Christian state. The State of Vatican City, originally established by the Lateran Pacts of 1929, approximates most faithfully the ideal-typical conception of theocratic Roman Catholic state. The Pope is ex officio simultaneously leader of the Catholic Church as well as Head of State and Head of the Government of the State of the Vatican City; he also possesses (de jure) absolute authority over the legislative, executive and judicial branches. Practically all acts and policies of the Vatican City revolve around the interests of the Holy See and, apart from the members of the Pontifical Swiss Guard, virtually all inhabitants of the Vatican City are members of the clergy.
