Secularism and State Policies toward Religion: The United States, France, and Turkey - Cambridge Studies in Social Theory, Religion and Politics
Kuru, Ahmet T. (San Diego State University)
Why do secular states pursue different policies toward religion? This book examines the impact of ideological struggles on public policy making. Specifically, it analyzes why American state policies are largely tolerant of religion ('passive secularism'), whereas French and Turkish policies generally prohibit its public visibility ('assertive secularism').
