The effect can be huge. Which nation and when do you want to know about?
Religious conflict (intra-Christian, Catholic vs Orthodox) could for example be said to be the main reason why Serbia and Croatia are separate nations at all, two places side by side with a common ancient and early-mediaeval history and a common language.
Pakistan came to exist at all because Muslims wanted to carve a separate state out of Imperial India so they wouldn't be ruled by Hindus.
But Bangladesh separated from Pakistan and has become a different nation despite sharing the same kind of Islam.
In some places religion is interwoven with ethnicity, and it is the two together that make for conflict, e.g. Sri Lanka where most Buddhists are Sinhalese and most or all Hindus are Tamil.
