The religious ideas, institutions, and actors have been increased considerably both in numbers and influence around the world, and the world is witnessing the “post-secular age,” which has offered wider space for religion. Besides, an optimality of religion in national and international affairs has also created multiple problems. Extreme religiosity in a number of countries has led to religion-based violence, which is more prevalent mostly in economically and socially backward states. This paper highlights the historical place of religion in IR studies, and subsequent paradigm shift in the nature of practice of religion in the political domain of national regimes and international relations.
