What is the place assigned to religion in the constitutions of
contemporary States? What role is religion expected to perform in
the fields that are the object of constitutional regulation? Is
separation of religion and politics a necessary precondition for
democracy and the rule of law? These questions are addressed in
this book through an analysis of the constitutional texts that are
in force in different parts of the world. Constitutions are at the
centre of almost all contemporary legal systems and provide the
principles and values that inspire the action of the national
law-makers. After a discussion of some topics that are central to
the constitutional regulation of religion, the book considers a
number of national systems covering countries with a variety of
religious and cultural backgrounds. The final section of the book
is devoted to the discussion of the constitutional regulation of
some particularly controversial issues, such as religious
education, the relation between freedom of speech and freedom of
religion, abortion, and freedom of conscience.
