Hristiyan devletler
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]

In the Edict of Thessalonica (380) he expressed the imperial "desire" that all Roman citizens should become Christians, the emperor adjudging all other madmen and ordering them to be designated as heretics,...condemned as such...to suffer divine punishment, and, therewith, the vengeance of that power, which we, by celestial authority, have assumed. There was thus created the "Christian State."

In contrast, the emperor Justinian (527-565) refashioned the eastern part of the Roman Empire into a strong and dynamic Byzantine Empire, which claimed Bosnia-Hercegovina, among other provinces. The Byzantine Empire became the world's predominant Christian state, based on Roman law, Greek culture, and the Greek language.

Thus the Constitution of Costa Rica, which is considered a model of stable democracy in Latin America, states in Article 75: The Catholic and Apostolic Religion is the religion of the State, which contributes to its maintenance, without preventing the free exercise in the Republic of other forms of worship that are not opposed to universal morality or good customs.

The features of the state affect the essence of the state, but the key term is that of historical identity, hence this chapter concentrates on historical identity as the essence of the state, though at times some of the other features will also be referred to. For instance, ancient Greece has now become an Orthodox Christian state. Ancient Persia (Iran) has now become a Muslim state, and the ancient Buddhist states of the Silk Route have also become Islamic states.

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.
