Indirectly, Diaspora is related to ( dispersion) and refers to the scattering of Jewish exiles and refugees all over the world since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in Ad.70 ( related to the Bar Kochba war). The term is also applied to the exodus of White Russians from Revolutionary and Communist Russia that climaxed in l922. (One parod had it- in the year of Diaspora, Stasia borne across the sea, on a big Three Island Steamer, jaunt paid for by you and me ( this is not necessarily true- one doubts US Tax dollars would be spent on something like this- there was no CIA at the time)/

What is the religion with Diaspora and Zionism?

The religion you are looking for is Judaism, however Diaspora is not an exclusively Jewish term and Zionism is not an exclusively Jewish phenomenon. Diaspora applies to any ethnic group living outside of its original land. While the Jewish Diaspora is the most famous, there is also the Armenian Diaspora, the Palestinian Diaspora, the Greek Diaspora, the Circassian Diaspora, and numerous other Diasporas. Zionism is the belief that the Jews should have political self-sovereignty and is the patriotic sentiment behind the Establishment of the State of Israel. It is entirely political in nature and a large number of Zionists are Christians, even though the the question is about Jewish sovereignty. Similarly, a person does not have to be Polish to support the right of Poles to have self-determination (as Woodrow Wilson did in 1918) or a person does not have to be Bengali to believe that Bangladesh had the right to be free of India in 1947 and Pakistan in 1971. Additionally, there are some Jews who are either apathetic towards Zionism or are Anti-Zionist.
