should nationalism/patriotism be a form of religion

what do you guys think about the idea of making nationalism a replacement for religion. subscribing to alien religions that can't be reformed and don't suit your culture has always been a stupid ideal. even though fascism and nationalism didn't work and resulted in catastrophe in europe, it can work in africa if people treat it as a religion.

Nationalism would absolutely fail especially in Africa.

You cannot make nationalism into a religion. You can however corrupt religion until it is indistinguishable from nationalism

The problem with that is most of Africa are artificial states that have existed for 50 years or so. Most of them have at some point have civil strife so nationalism can not work in Africa cause they don't feel apart of the same nation but instead their ethnicity. What is the alternative? In my opinion it's wholesale disarmament of the populace, education and international bodies to oversee these things.

No. An ajnabi muslim will be closer to us than you. Not meaning to be harsh. Sorry but that's just faxx:dzmxmmb:
 
siayad barre didn't make nationalism a deeply ingrained belief and he didn't get rid of islam either
You're several centuries too late to spread your ultra-nationalist religion, most Somalis in Somalia will be actively against your Anti-Islam stance & the very few Somalis who aren't interested in religion at all will likely not be into nationalism, since more people are becoming increasingly globalised & less patriotic in general across the World.

Judaism and the Druze religion are this basically. To a lesser extent Zoroastrian Parsis as well.

Alawites as well and basically every MENA Christian though they’d never admit it since being exclusionary goes against their religion.

They wouldn’t want to proselytize Muslims even if they could (depending on a few factors they actually can) since their religion is just cover for pre-Islamic ethnic-groups at this point.
