Each state in Europe has its own national laws which affect
religion and these are increasingly the subject of political and
academic debate. This book provides a detailed comparative
introduction to these laws with particular reference to the states
of the European Union. A comparison of national laws on religion
reveals profound similarities between them. From these emerge
principles of law on religion common to the states of Europe and
the book articulates these for the first time. It examines the
constitutional postures of states towards religion, religious
freedom, and discrimination, and the legal position, autonomy, and
ministers of religious organizations. It also examines the
protection of doctrine and worship, the property and finances of
religion, religion, education, and public institutions, and
religion, marriage, and children, as well as the fundamentals of
the emergent European Union law on religion.
The existence of these principles challenges the standard view in
modern scholarship that there is little commonality in the legal
postures of European states towards religion - it reveals that the
dominant juridical model in Europe is that of cooperation between
State and religion. The book also analyses national laws in the
context of international laws on religion, particularly the
European Convention on Human Rights. It proposes that national laws
go further than these in their treatment and protection of
religion, and that the principles of religion law common to the
states of Europe may themselves represent a blueprint for the
development of international norms in this field. The book provides
a wealth of legal materials for scholars and students. The
principles articulated in it also enable greater dialogue between
law and disciplines beyond law, such as the sociology of religion,
about the role of religion in Europe today. The book also
identifies areas for further research in this regard, pointing the
direction for future study.
