In a comparison with the German cooperation model, Volker Wick examines how the French government deals with the current religious challenges, such as for example the so-called problems with sects or with Islam.

19th century anticlerical laicism, whose intention was to make the church and religion a completely private matter, has to a large extent disappeared in current religious politics. However, the legacy of the French Revolution and the separation legislation are still noticeable today in the mistrust of the French government towards the public practising of religion. In a comparison with the German cooperation model, Volker Wick examines how the French government deals with the current religious challenges, such as for example the so-called problems with sects or with Islam. This work contains extensive French source material.
