religious party
Piety-based political group
A religious party is a political party whose platform and identity are grounded in religious beliefs or affiliated with a religious institution.
Such parties range from those seeking to implement religious law to those merely informed by religious values: Christian democratic parties in Europe, Israel's ultra-Orthodox religious parties.
The term also describes a gathering for religious purposes: a religious party celebrating the harvest.
