| Summary |
This book presents a human rights-based assessment of the various modes of statereligion identification and of the various forms of state practice that surround and characterize these different statereligion models. This book makes a case for the recognition of a state duty to remain impartial with respect to religion or belief in all regards so as to comply with peoples fundamental right to be governed, at all times, in a religiously neutral manner. |
