THE RESEARCH QUESTIONS:

Europe is becoming a place to come across situations associated with religious matters. This first origin is in the historical construction of the European societies with a significant place and role of churches and other religious organizations. The other reason is due to people migrating in and out Europe with their religious specificities that has a deep impact on the European social daily life. Moreover, the political democratic changes that occur to the various places bring out new questions directly connected to the religious sphere. For instance, what defines a religion in a secular Constitution? How do the various national European constitutions affect European Union’s institutions on the aspect of religion? How do the European Court of Justice and the European Court of Human Rights are dealing with religious issues? Furthermore, some EU countries have a high sense of religiosity. Thus, how can they work and integrate foreign citizens from the legal perspective? These questions and many other are the concerns of scholars, students, researchers, NGO Members, Lawyers and politicians. Precisely talking about the EU, there is not yet a place, whether physical or digital where legal resources on religious topics can be founded.
