While Western Europe is widely considered to be the most secularized region of the world, Jos??? Pedro Z???quete asserts that, in certain cases, intense religion has manifested itself outside the church through political channels. The sacralization of politics is commonly studied in terms of movements and regimes of the past. Offering an innovative political analysis, Zuquette focuses on contemporary movements, developing the term "missionary politics."
