It places this case into a comparative discussion of the interfaith movement as an emerging global phenomenon. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this case study, the author considers how Interfaith Scotland presents 'religions' as equivalent, compatible bodies of ethical teachings through selective appeals to textual traditions or in some cases, their construction. It has also depended on conforming to the 'world religions paradigm', where it is only religions with global reach and cohesive characteristics which require representation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLiam Sutherland discusses how Interfaith Scotland encouraged a common, seemingly 'apolitical' attachment to Scotland's democratic institutions and cultural heritage, especially in relation to the question of independence. This case study sheds light on the wider relationship between the global interfaith movement and nationalism - both in protecting religions against prejudice and exclusion but also pursuing integrationist goals.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLiam T.
