La Nouvelle Question Religieuse the New Religious Question
Tel est l’objet de ce livre, lequel permet une première analyse croisée des identités, des valeurs, des images et des mythes véhiculés par les décideurs publics et par divers groupes de la société civile engagés à nouveaux frais – sur fond de globalisation, de symboles nationaux et de droits universels – au tracé des frontières entre le public et le religieux.
In a context of increasing polarization of public opinion about religious questions, how do issues involving religion appear in France, the United States, Belgium, and Canada? Parliamentary commissions, governmental reports, and laws pertaining to Islam and to so-called sects often lead to the promulgation of regulations that reflect the public’s anxiety that religious diversity per se is threatening.
The purpose of this book is to examine some of the identities, values, images, and myths that are perceived by decision makers and by participants in civil societies when boundaries are drawn between the public and the religious at the place where globalization and universal human rights meet.
