Secularism: Why French Secularism is So Hard to Grasp
Secularism/Laïcité
article from institutmontaigne.org
The 1905 French law separating the Church and the State is now over a hundred years old. The laïcité (or secularism) principle it defines, despite the term not being mentioned in the text, is unique in the world and is an integral part of France’s contemporary political DNA.
Laïcité is the product of the long evolution of the relationship between the Church and the State.
