Abstract
The author focuses on France’s legal framework and ecclesiastical policy towards the religions existing and operating in the national territory. The constitutional principle of secularism (laïcité) and the separation between State and religious denominations, which characterize the French legal system, are examined in a two-fold perspective: firstly, which past issues have helped to settle and how; secondly, the way they are currently contributing and may contribute in the future to manage the country’s religious diversity.
