Paperback. The relation between religion and state in modern European history ischaracterized by a dual exercise: safeguarding freedom of religion forall citizens and simultaneously guaranteeing civil governance free fromdomination by religious authorities. While both religion and state havepotential power to suppress personal freedom and development and to keepsocieties in a deadlock, the present volume notes that in recent decadespolitical and academic discourse has increasingly focused on thepotential negative influence of religion.

Meanwhile, a so-called secular humanistworldview is presented in the public arena as not just an alternative toreligions, but as actually superior to religious worldviews.

First, theoretical considerations aim torethink what healthy relations between religion and state should looklike in contemporary secularized Europe. Ongoing negotiations on themeaning of terms such as secularity, neutrality and laicite areanalyzed and the purview of the right to religious freedom isreconsidered.
