520 |a "This volume explores the dynamic life of religion and politics in France. The separation of Church and State and the autonomy of school education from religion are the two fundamental pillars of France as a Secular Republic. The historical construction of French Secularism (laïcité) was particularly marked by the strong opposition between the State and the Catholic Church. However, the religious disaffiliation of a significant proportion of the French strengthened State Secularism, which gradually became more consensual - despite some persisting tensions in the school context. Yet, in the last decades, several factors have revived public debate on laicity: the quarrel over 'sects' and new religious movements; controversies over Islam, today the second-largest religion in France; and, more recently, dispute over bioethics. Faced with these challenges, laicity as well as the religious groups involved have been changing. The authors of this book, ranking amongst the best French experts in the study of religion and secularism, introduce the reader to a living and lived laicity influenced by the social and religious dynamics of contemporary France. They demonstrate that the configurations of French Secularism are both more flexible and complex than they appear to be. The volume investigates the extent to which the French idea of secularisation has been pushed to be more thorough and radical in its interaction with its other European counterparts. A key work on French political thought, this volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of international politics, political philosophy, political sociology, and religion and politics"--
