Religion in the Public Sphere: Challenges and Opportunities

Résumé

I first discuss in Part I the differences between how Europe—especially France—and the United States define the public sphere. I then describe the place of religion in the public sphere in Europe—focusing primarily on France—and in the United States. In Part II, I contend that both country’s perceptions of the place of religion in the public sphere are endangering freedom of religion. For instance, an unacknowledged but healthy civil religion in the United States does limit religious freedom in the public sphere just as surely as strict adherence to Laïcité limits religious freedom in France. In Part III, I offer insights into how both Europe and the United States should adapt some of their practices to guarantee freedom of religion more fully. Finally, Part IV offers a brief conclusion
