Abstract
This chapter has two parts. In the first part, I introduce some conceptual issues concerning legal regulations of religion and their possible connections to the amorphous concept of secularism, before outlining some historical developments in international rules on religion. In the second part, I briefly chart the role of international law and religion in domestic legislation and ask whether Norwegian law conforms to a particular form of legal secularism. I trace the negotiation of international and domestic rules on religion in Norway across three legal areas: the registration of faith communities, the handling of asylum claims and the exemptions granted to religious communities from the general law on non-discrimination. In conclusion, I give a provisional assessment of the extent to which Norwegian law is secularist.
