Religion: State Control

Did you know that the French Revolution's efforts to create a state-controlled church backfired, leading to significant resistance and contributing to the Revolution's violence?
Or, that the American model promoted the separation of church and state fostering a pluralistic religious landscape?

The book progresses from outlining the historical context and key concepts to detailed analyses of the Civil Constitution, resistance movements, and comparative studies of Britain and America. By drawing on primary and secondary sources, it presents a compelling argument about the complexities of state control and religious autonomy.

Ultimately, Religion: State Control offers a fresh perspective on the historical roots of contemporary debates surrounding secularism and the separation of church and state.
