DESCRIPTION:We model two autocratic states facing internal and external thr
 eats\, where religious clerics wield significant influence. Rulers allocate
  resources between internal security and the military while deciding whethe
 r to co-opt clerics to establish a state religion. Co-opting reduces the ri
 sk of domestic unrest and allows a reduction in policing costs\, freeing re
 sources for the army. Surprisingly\, equilibria are asymmetric across a wid
 e range of parameters\, with one state secularizing when the other adopts a
  state religion. Yet\, in the presence of religious minorities aligned with
  foreign powers\, state religions can become strategic complements\, explai
 ning the simultaneous emergence of nationally defined religions in rival st
 ates. The theory is illustrated using historical evidence from state format
 ion in Europe and the Middle East.\\n\\nContact: Ségal Le Guern Herry: se
