Abstract
Much of the scholarship on religious freedom in Singapore is situated within broader questions of the actions of the nation-state on religion. The Singaporean state, which is sometimes referred to as a soft authoritarian regime, justifies its intrusion and disciplining of religion based on the mandate of its citizens to ensure optimum levels of economic development and a harmonious society. Scholars have examined state religious policies, speeches of government officials, and court cases to analyze how the state justifies giving and restricting religious freedom. The Singaporean model of religion-state relations can best be described as an accommodative secularist model.
