Résumé

Depuis plusieurs décennies, la laïcité subit en France une transformation profonde qui remet en cause sa dimension libérale. Le principe de séparation du politique et du religieux se dilue au profit de la promotion de la notion récente du « vivre‑ensemble », qui voudrait associer garantie de la liberté religieuse et défense des valeurs républicaines. Ce processus d’érosion s’appuie sur le développement d’une logique concordataire et sur l’émergence d’une conception « communautariste » de la laïcité.

Abstract

Abstract

In recent decades, secularism in France has undergone a profound transformation which calls into question its liberal dimension. The principle of separation of state and religion is diluted to promote the recent idea of “coexistence,” which aims to combine the guarantee of religious freedom and the defense of republican values. This process of erosion is based on the development of a concordat logic and the emergence of a “communitarian” conception of secularism.
