Synopsis
Without their historical perspective, the present debates on the secularism are seriously incomplete. From the first hours of the French nation, and even before, under the Roman Empire, the question of the connections between religious sphere and civil sphere arose in pointed terms.

The first separation of the Church and the State dates from the revolutionary era and we cannot thus content with analyzing the 1905's events. If it is true that today the secularism crisis is incessantly presented as the integration of Moslem community in the French society. An attentive examination of our contemporaries' beliefs reveals the other features that would deserve as much curiosity. It is the case, particularly, of the parallel evolutions of the Islam ones, in the other religions.

The aim of this 3 x 52 'collection thus is to put the separation of the Church and the State in its historic perspective and to investigate the current consequences of what, as it is said, remains a very French phenomenon.
