Europe is a relatively secular part of the world in global terms.
Why is this so? And why is the situation in Europe so different
from that in the United States? The first chapter of this book -
the theme - articulates this contrast. The remaining chapters - the
variations - look in turn at the historical, philosophical,
institutional and sociological dimensions of these differences. Key
ideas are examined in detail, among them: constitutional issues;
the Enlightenment; systems of law, education and welfare; questions
of class, ethnicity, gender and generation. In each chapter both
the similarities and differences between the European and the
American cases are carefully scrutinized. The final chapter
explores the ways in which these features translate into policy on
both sides of the Atlantic. This book is highly topical and relates
very directly to current misunderstandings between Europe and
America.
