Abstract

This book embarks on a comprehensive effort to document the multiple areas in which French secularism plays out: in debates over “cults,” chaplaincy services in public institutions, the administration of places of worship, the recognition of associations of worship, and more. It is not limited to consideration of the Muslim question. While this last has undoubtedly helped reshape French secularism in recent decades, it is far from the only relevant issue. The book will examine the main political and legal configurations adopted by French secularism over the last 30 years through a sociological lens, in order to better document its diversity. Such a portrait will serve to emphasize that French secularism is not a univocal phenomenon but one that appears in many guises. We must speak of French secularisms in the plural.
