With its increasingly secular and religiously diverse population
Australia faces many challenges in determining how the state and
religion should interact. Australia is not unique in facing these
challenges. States worldwide, including common law countries with
shared legal and religious heritages, have also been faced with the
question of how the state and religion should relate to one
another. Countries such as the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand
and the United States have all had to grapple with how to manage
the state-religion relationship in the present day. This book
provides a comprehensive historical review of the interaction of
the state and religion in Australia. It brings together multiple
examples of areas in which the state and religion interact, and
reviews these examples across Australia's history from settlement
through to present day. The book sets this story within a wider
theoretical context via an examination of theories of
state-religion relationships as well as a comparison with other
similar common law jurisdictions. The book demonstrates how the
solutions arrived at in Australia is uniquely Australian owing to
Australia's unique legal system, religious demographics and
history. However this is just one possible outcome among many that
have been tried in common law liberal democracies.
