Religious diversity is one of the toughest challenges that today’s European societies face in their search for identity, equality and cohesion in an increasingly globalised world. This book engages critically with the different models and approaches for managing religion adopted in Europe, Asia and Oceania in order to seek answers to this pressing normative, conceptual and policy issue.

• Showcases high level scholarship from around the world – a truly intercontinental volume that disrupts the previous dominance of Euro- and West-centric viewpoints and analyses
• Brings together scholars from political theory, Islamic studies, sociology and law
• Distinguishes secularism from atheism and democracy (or authoritarianism)
• Explores alternative conceptions of the secular arising from the search for a civic basis of national unity or from a religious sense of nationhood
• Case studies cover Britain, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Australia, Israel, as well as several comparative European studies
