French Secularism in Crisis ?

François-Marie Arouet (Voltaire), buried in the Paris Pantheon, remarked: “God gave us the gift of life; it is up to us to give ourselves the gift of living well.” Voltaire, invoking his chronic sense of absurdity, would be smirking at the new social harmony in France as hardcore French secularists and Muslim women in public places conceal their faces (noses, mouths, and eyes) to protect...

Using an ethnographic approach, this book examines everyday secularism in the making. How do city actors understand, frame and govern religious diversity? Which local factors play a role in those...

Understanding 'laïcité', France's special brand of state secularism

France's particular brand of secularism, known as "laïcité", is considered a backbone of the French Republic. And yet this separation of church and state is a touchy subject and often misunderstood. Its backers say it's the glue that lets the French live together in harmony despite their differences, but critics say it's anti-religious and increasingly used to stigmatise Muslims. So...

Law against ”separatism”: French freedoms at stake

Many terrorist attacks over the past years, including the...

Covid19 in France: is ”freedom of religion held hostage”?

Religion and secularism in France: see FRANCE.FR

Atheism and Secularism: more and more studied

For quite a long time, atheism and secularism were understudied. Not anymore. While Religioscope devoted a big article in French on this issue this year, a new review devoted to these topics just appeared in 2012: its name is Secularism and non religion . Last but not least, let's remind the very interesting issue of the open access e-journal Approching religion...

BBC page on French laïcité (laicity, secularism)

I have recently discovered an interesting BBC page about French laïcité (particuliar French way to deal with Secularism). Here is the link: BBC page on French Laïcité (secularism). This page rightly emphasizes the importance of French History : "Be cause of past precedent it is very easy for the French to interpret any strong religious views as a direct threat to...
