Laicite
L'Expression Publique de la Religion
by Jean-Michel Cadiot and Pierre Whalon
English summary: This book argues that the so-called neutrality of the French state has had the perverse effect of violating any public expression of any religion, except one – resulting in the endorsement of atheism as the country’s de facto religion. French description: Laicite: l’expression publique de la religion est un livre qui defend la laicite au sens originel du mot, c’est-a-dirre la liberte de conscience. Celle-ci porte en elle-meme l’expression personnelle mais aussi publique de la foi de tout le monde. Or, la pretendue neutralite de l’Etat a l’effet pervers d’enfreindre toute expression publique d’une quelconque religion, sauf une–celle qui pretend ne pas etre une religion. Autrement dit, la politique etatique a pour resultat l’enterinement de l’atheisme comme religion de facto de la France.
