Nationalism
Nationalism is a political ideology that believes in loyalty to one's nation, usually based on ethnic connections, historical ties, or loyalty to shared institutions. Nationalism was the philosophy behind the creation of the Nation-State in the 1800s, resulting in the unification of Germany and Italy and the disintegration of the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian Empires along ethnic lines. Nationalism was always opposed by cosmopolitanism and in today's global economy, the dialogue between advocates of either tends to be tense.

Difference between cultural and political nationalism?
Nationalism is a very tricky thing to describe. It is a sense of unifying loyalty/love for one's country.
Cultural Nationalism is one based on a cultural identity, this can have religious and ethnic connotations as well.
Lets examine the Hapsburg (Austrian-Hungarian) Empire. It was a nation dominated by a German (Austrian) elite minority, and its subjects included many Slavs (Czechs, Slovaks, Slovens, Croats, some Serbs, Bosniaks, etc). These slavic subject people were united by a strong yearning for a free nation in which their culture (which was quite different from Austrian-German) could flourish within its own boarders.
Political nationalism is also tricky, but it seems it would be based upon political identities, such a Communism or Democracy in the Cold War.

What stimulated growth of nationalism?
Moments of great triumph or despair tend to bring people together uniting them on a national level. Two examples I have experienced that stand out to me are the 1980 gold medal hockey team. When they beat Russia it was an incredible sense that vibrated across the country as our boys were the underdogs and they proved through teamwork that all things are possible.
The other was the events of 9/11. At the time I lived in Pennsylvania and was a lot closer to the events than I was comfortable. In spite of the death and destruction people all across the country pulled up stakes and left jobs behind to help in the recovery efforts.
There have been many other events that took place but these two were good examples of the good and the bad that help unite people to create the sense of nationalism.

What is the difference between a nationalist and a patriot?
I take it that you were talking about patriotism and nationalism; the words are similar, describing love of one's country. However, patriotism simply means love of one's country; someone who is patriotic is a patriot and this is the context in which the word is most often used. On the other hand nationalism has other meanings; it is often used to describe social movements which idealise the 'nation-state'. In established nation-states such as the UK and PRC nationalism is also used to describe love of one's country - at the expense of other nations, which are perceived as inferior in comparison to one's own. Politically, patriotism can be expressed by all, but nationalism is expressed by right-wing elements. All political parties can be patriotic, but some are nationalists because they pursue a more aggressive and self-promoting foreign policy.
Does religion inforce nationalism?
Answer 1
Not explicitly.
Popular religions (e.g., Evangelism, Judaism, Islam) promote communal support and unity among small groups of people. This may appear to promote the general understanding of 'nationalism', but if we research what it means to be a 'nationalist', we find that this ideology is not as influenced by the intrinsic values proposed by religion as it is the result of communities uniting to share and protect domestic resources.
Swaths of territory in the Middle East are occupied by both Muslims and Christians, in some parts equally shared. Lebanon, which has seen a sharp rise in converts to Christianity, maintains a number of Islamic values, but Lebanese society does not view one faith as more nationalist than another.
Answer 2
It depends entirely on which Nationalism you speak of and which sect of which religion.
Nationalism is itself an inherently areligious ideology. It does not speak to the concept of religion, neither for nor against. What nationalism does speak to is a cultural identity and the ability of a cultural group to defend its societal organization and values. However, there are a number of societies and cultural groups which define their in-groups and out-groups from current or historic religious adherence. The most common examples where this is the case is in countries that have historically been under Islamic Rule, usually because Muslim Rulers discriminated against their citizens based on class. This is in contrast to Europe, where nationalism tends to divide along linguistic lines, since European rulers historically discriminated against citizens based on languages, and Africa, where nationalism tends to divide along tribal lines, since the European colonizers would play the tribes against one another and their pre-European historic hatreds. (In the Americas, nationalism has been subborned by patriotism since most countries in the Americas define themselves as melting pots without a primary ethnicity.)
Where religion does play a role in nationalism, such as in Greece, Israel, Palestine, Turkey, Bosnia, Serbia, Croatia, Bulgaria, and in Lebanon (on both sides), a large number of nationalists have taken on a religious fervor along with their nationalism. This is most clearly visible in the Greek Wars of Independence, where the Greek Flag was a blue cross, the soldiers would come to churches for the Orthodox priestly blessing, how the propaganda painted these wars as a holy crusade, etc. In these ways, the Greek Orthodox faith served to support and unify the Greek Nationalist movement. Interestingly enough, the Bulgarians, who used to also be part of the Greek Orthodox Church, found it necessary to schism from the Greek Orthodox Church specifically because of the strong links between the Church and Greek Nationalism (which was diametrically opposed to Bulgarian nationalism).
In places where religion does not play a role, such as in Germany, religion actually promotes sectarianism and division in nationalist ranks. It took decades to unite the Lutheran north with the Catholic south in spite of their mutual "German-ness".
How did Andrew Jackson approach the conflict of nationalism and sectionalism?
Andrew Jackson navigated the conflict between nationalism and sectionalism by promoting a strong centralized federal government while also accommodating regional interests. He championed policies that fostered national unity, such as the Indian Removal Act, which aimed to expand U.S. territory, but also faced significant opposition from Southern states, particularly over issues like tariffs. Jackson's presidency highlighted the tensions between national authority and states' rights, leading him to sometimes prioritize national interests over regional concerns. His approach ultimately reinforced both the spirit of nationalism and the growing sectional divisions that would later contribute to the Civil War.
How did liberalism and nationalism contribute to unrest?

How is nationalism a disruptive force in Europe?
It unified the nations of Italy and Germany, but split apart the multi-national empires, such as the Ottoman Empire, and the Austro-Hungarian empire.
An example would be WW2 when Hitler convinced all of Germany that they were superior then everyone else and discriminated other ethnic groups. I would say WW2 was disruptive in Europe.
When did nationalist movement begin in India?
