At the height of the imperial age church people liked to argue that religion and the British empire were inseparable - that the visible, commercial and political empire was woven into the fabric of another, invisible, country - a spiritual empire. But, then as now, historians and politicians have not been convinced that the empire had significant religious roots. Although religious interpretations of imperial history have undergone a revival in recent years, it is probably going too far to argue, with Tony Ballantyne, that religion can now be found at 'the very centre of understandings of British colonialism', and that this has come about because of the recent wave of post-colonial and ethnographic studies
