statereligionEuropean UnionChurchsecularizationdescription
The “crucifix debate” and the full-face veil ban in France are just a few examples from a long list of problems concerning the relations between the religion and the state in the European countries that have involved the European public opinion over the last years. The article aims to present the complex picture of Church-state relations in Europe in the context of the intensification of all-European debate on the place of religion in the European Union. It shows that in spite of the widely recognized secularization thesis in western social sciences most of the European states are the arena of various problems involving the religious dimension and the question about the future role of the religion in Europe is still to be answered.
