}}The '''Nazarene Movement''' (Vegnian: ''Movimento Nazareno'') is a [[Vegno|Vegnese]] conservative religious political party based on the principles of the [[Nazarene]] religion. 

== History ==
The Nazarene Movement was established in 1719 AN by a group of devout followers of the Nazarene faith. Led by [[Orazio Torlo-Marani]], the party aimed to promote and uphold conservative values in both religious and political realms. The movement drew inspiration from the core teachings of the Nazarene religion, emphasizing traditional values, moral principles, and social cohesion.

From its early days, the Nazarene Movement attracted a dedicated following among devout adherents of the Nazarene faith in Vegno. It quickly gained recognition as a significant extra-parliamentary political force, advocating for policies aligned with its conservative ideology. The party's rise to prominence was driven by its ability to mobilize supporters and articulate a clear vision for the nation that resonated with many conservative-minded individuals.

== Ideology ==
The Nazarene Movement is a social conservative political party, drawing its ideology from the principles of the Nazarene religion. Rooted in traditional values, the party seeks to preserve and promote the social fabric of Vegno by upholding conservative principles and moral standards.

Central to the ideology of the Nazarene Movement is the preservation of traditional family values and the promotion of strong community bonds. The party believes that the family unit is the foundation of society and emphasizes the importance of marriage, parental authority, and the well-being of children. It advocates for policies that support the stability and integrity of families, such as promoting marriage as a union between a man and a woman and providing support for parents in raising their children.

The Nazarene Movement places a strong emphasis on moral principles and ethics, seeking to instill and maintain a sense of personal responsibility and integrity in individuals. It advocates for the promotion of virtue, moral education, and the importance of personal character. The party believes that a society built on moral foundations fosters social cohesion and individual well-being.

In addition to social values, the Nazarene Movement also advocates for policies that prioritize national identity and cultural preservation. It seeks to protect and promote Vegno's cultural heritage, traditions, and values. The party emphasizes the importance of a shared national identity and the integration of newcomers into the existing social fabric while preserving the unique character of Vegno.

The party's social conservatism extends to its stance on various social issues. The Nazarene Movement opposes the legalization of same-sex marriage, viewing marriage as a sacred institution between a man and a woman. It also emphasizes the protection of the unborn and generally opposes abortion, recognizing the sanctity of life. The party believes in the importance of religious freedom and the right of individuals to practice their faith without undue interference.

The Nazarene Movement's social conservative ideology extends to its economic views as well. While not strictly advocating for a specific economic system, the party generally supports free-market principles, limited government intervention, and fiscal responsibility. It believes that a strong economy, built on individual initiative and entrepreneurial spirit, provides the foundation for a prosperous society.
