Various opinion surveys published since 2020 have shown that, when it comes to secularism, young French people are much more liberal than their elders. The authors of this article ask to what extent this divide is linked to globalization, a process that particularly concerns millennials, and which is sometimes perceived as weakening the transmission of national values. By constructing and analyzing a survey that, in an unprecedented way, crosses the level of integration into globalization and the relationship to secularism of 18–30 year-olds, they show that the two variables interact, but that globalization both widens and closes generational gaps in secularism.

Depuis les années 1980, la laïcité est redevenue un foyer majeur d'inquiétude pour la société française et est à nouveau au cœur de la délibération publique. La laïcité réintègre l'espace de la controverse politique, non plus sur le fondement d'un questionnement partiel mais sur celui d'une interrogation plus large, plus globale, touchant aux principes du modèle républicain. À travers les recompositions qui l'affectent, il est possible de repérer trois types de métamorphoses : 1) l'État est en voie d'adhérer à son tour à la grande logique de la différence. 2) Du fait même de cette mutation, l'idée de représentation voit sa définition se transformer en un système de pure délégation. 3) Enfin, l'État ne gouverne désormais qu'une société d'individus atomisés et favorise du même coup le ré-enracinement des individus dans des appartenances communautaires.

This volume examines the perception of the French principle of laïcité or secularism and attempts to demonstrate to English-speaking readers that the configurations of the French model of laïcité are both more flexible and complex than they appear to be. Due to the diversification of France's religious landscape (notably with a Muslim minority estimated at 7% of the population) and some of the effects of Europeanisation, French secularism is being urged to shed its anti-religious tendencies and abandon a version of secularism conceived as an alternative to religion. The French Republic is not a secularist state but a secular state where secularism is conceived as a founding principle of pluralistic democracies.

"This volume explores the dynamic life of religion and politics in France. The separation of Church and State and the autonomy of school education from religion are the two fundamental pillars of France as a Secular Republic. The historical construction of French Secularism (laïcité) was particularly marked by the strong opposition between the State and the Catholic Church. However, the religious disaffiliation of a significant proportion of the French strengthened State Secularism, which gradually became more consensual - despite some persisting tensions in the school context. Yet, in the last decades, several factors have revived public debate on laicity: the quarrel over 'sects' and new religious movements; controversies over Islam, today the second-largest religion in France; and, more recently, dispute over bioethics. Faced with these challenges, laicity as well as the religious groups involved have been changing. The authors of this book, ranking amongst the best French experts in the study of religion and secularism, introduce the reader to a living and lived laicity influenced by the social and religious dynamics of contemporary France. They demonstrate that the configurations of French Secularism are both more flexible and complex than they appear to be. The volume investigates the extent to which the French idea of secularisation has been pushed to be more thorough and radical in its interaction with its other European counterparts. A key work on French political thought, this volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of international politics, political philosophy, political sociology, and religion and politics"--

Le pape disparu avait élaboré un discours très cohérent sur l'Europe, non seulement pour des raisons historiques (héritage spirituel et valeurs) et géopolitiques (lutte contre le communisme) mais aussi la considérant comme la base d'une expansion mondiale du christianisme.
