Following a brief sketch of the international and European legal framework with regard to church and state, a basic typology of different church-state models will be outlined. In this framework, we can broadly distinguish five different church-state models: political atheism, political secularism (passive and assertive secularism), active state support for religions, a state church or an established church, and a theocracy.
