Abstract The continuing, albeit heightened, relevance of faith-related disruptions in domestic and international discourses are a function of politics and geopolitics and is not, on empirical evidence, suggestive of heightened piety. Would this induce that religion is not politics, that religiosity is not religion, and that global order is to be premised on global interests and not on exclusively national ones? Are we prepared, conceptually and organizationally, to undertake it even if it involves as it must going beyond the traditional paradigm of faith and of national interest? Or, could the alternative be a modern-day version of Milton’s Pandemonium, the high capital of Satan and his peers, built by little demons?

宗教、宗教信仰和世界秩序*

摘要 在国内和国际话语中，与信仰相关的破坏持续存在，尽管其相关性有所增强，但这是政治和地缘政治的函数，根据经验证据，并不表明虔诚程度有所提高。这是否会导致宗教不是政治，宗教信仰不是宗教，全球秩序的前提是全球利益，而不是完全以国家利益为前提？我们是否准备好在概念上和组织上进行它，即使它涉及必须超越传统的信仰和国家利益范式？或者，另一种选择是由小恶魔建造的现代版弥尔顿的 Pandemonium，即撒旦及其同龄人的高都城？
