How to accommodate diverse religious practices and laws within a
secular framework is one of the most pressing and controversial
problems facing contemporary European public order. In this
provocative contribution to the subject, Lorenzo Zucca argues that
traditional models of secularism, focusing on the relationship of
state and church, are out-dated and that only by embracing a new
picture of what secularism means can Europe move forward in the
public reconciliation of its religious diversity. The book develops
a new model of secularism suitable for Europe as a whole. The new
model of secularism is concerned with the way in which modern
secular states deal with the presence of diversity in the society.
This new conception of secularism is more suited to the European
Union whose overall aim is to promote a stable, peaceful and
unified economic and political space starting from a wide range of
different national experiences and perspectives. The new conception
of secularism is also more suited for the Council of Europe at
large, and in particular the European Court of Human Rights which
faces growing demands for the recognition of freedom of religion in
European states. The new model does not defend secularism as an
ideological position, but aims to present secularism as our common
constitutional tradition as well as the basis for our common
constitutional future.
