The expectations of many that religion in modern Europe would be swept away by the powerful current of secularization have not been realized, and today few topics generate more controversy than the complex relationship between religious and secular values. The 'religious/secular' relationship is examined in this book, which brings together scholars from different parts of Europe and beyond to provide insights into the methods by which religion and equivalent beliefs have been, and continue to be, protected in the legal systems and constitutions of European nations. The contributors chapters reveal that the oft-tumultuous legacy of Europe s relationship with religion still resonates across a continent where legal, political and social contours have been powerfully shaped by faith and religious difference.
Covering recent controversies such as the Islamic headscarf, and the presence of the crucifix in school class-rooms, this book will appeal to academics and students in law, human rights and the social sciences, as well as law and policy makers and NGOs in the field of human rights.
