John Milton (1608 1674) é conhecido não só como o poeta do épico Paraíso perdido, mas também como um dos grandes teóricos e polemistas do período das Guerras Civis Inglesas. Seu principal tema é o problema da liberdade em um reino que se transformou segundo ele em uma tirania de reis e potentados religiosos, onde o súdito não era mais adequadamente representado por seu soberano; de acordo com Milton, como o rei não era mais o representante justo do reino, ele não deveria mais exercer as suas funções, sendo necessária a sua deposição e, em alguns casos extremos, o regicídio (como foi defendido pelo próprio poeta); assim, a solução proposta junto com outros panfletários anti-realistas, que nunca atingiram a riqueza retórica e a ousadia teórica de Milton é o surgimento de uma república inglesa, inspirada nos moldes ciceronianos e de clara influência secular-humanista. A partir de agora, o verdadeiro representante do governo deve ser o povo, mais precisamente a commonwealth, formada por indivíduos capazes de dominar as paixões que os podem transformá-los em escravos e viver de acordo com a vontade da razão e da prudência. A liberdade interior dos membros desta república se dá dentro desta commonwealth, onde eles podem exercer a liberdade civil (em que o indivíduo pode viver com tranqüilidade desde que respeite as leis da república), a liberdade doméstica (em que se pode escolher qual é o tipo de educação que pretende ter, quais são as pessoas com quem pretende se relacionar, etc.) e a liberdade religiosa (a possibilidade de escolher uma religião sem a interferência do governo ou de qualquer outra seita religiosa que se classifique como oficial). / John Milton (1608 - 1674) is known not only for his epic Paradise Lost, but also as one of the great theorists and polemicists of the period of the English Civil Wars. Its main theme is the problem of freedom in a kingdom that has become a tyranny of kings and religious potentates, where the subject was not properly represented by his sovereign; according to Milton, as the king was no longer the right representative of the kingdom, he should no longer perform his duties, requiring the deposition and in some extreme cases, the regicide (as argued by him); thus, the proposed solution along with other anti-royalist pamphleteers, who never reached Milton´s rhetoric and the theoretical boldness is the emergence of an English republic. From now on, the true representative of the government should be the people, specifically the commonwealth, made up of individuals able to master the passions that can turn them into slaves and live according to the will of reason and prudence. The Freedom of the Republic takes place within this commonwealth, where its members can exercise civil liberty (in which the individual can live with peace of mind provided if it complies with the laws of the Republic), domestic freedom (where you can choose what kind education you want to have, who are the people you want to relate, etc.) and religious freedom (the ability to choose a religion without interference from the government or any other religious sect that classify them as \"official\").

Le pluralisme religieux est une réalité objective au Royaume-Uni et en France. Les minorités religieuses, demeurent un sujet récurrent qui suscite d’intarissables réflexions, d’études, de débats scientifiques et politiques. Elles sont une véritable préoccupation pour le politique, l’Europe et l’Etat ; à telle enseigne qu’il faille s’interroger sur ce que l’Etat peut leur proposer comme meilleure protection au XXIème siècle. La France et le Royaume-Uni sont confrontés à ce défi. Outre, la neutralité de l’Etat au regard de la religion rend complexes les rapports de ces minorités religieuses avec l’Etat en France où le concept de minorités religieuses n’est pas connu du droit français en vertu du caractère laïque de l’Etat français proclamé par l’article 1er de sa Constitution et la loi du 9 Décembre 1905 de la Séparation de l’Etat et de l’Eglise. Les minorités religieuses sont un non-sujet en droit français. Mais au Royaume-Uni, les minorités qualifiées de confessions religieuses sont reconnues quand bien même l’Eglise Anglicane est l’Eglise établie et officielle, avec à sa tête la Reine Elizabeth II. Il n’y a pas de séparation entre l’Eglise et l’Etat. En Ecosse, l’Eglise Presbytérienne fait figure d’Eglise établie, mais séparée de l’Etat. Aussi, toujours liée aux minorités religieuses, la question de l’application du principe d’ajustement raisonnable pour écarter des cas de discrimination en matière religieuse. L’ordre juridique britannique connaît ce principe et l’applique. Alors qu’en France, ce principe est ignoré et fait l’objet d’une application purement informelle. Certes, la globalisation apporte des faits positifs en Europe et notamment dans ces deux Etats, mais elle contient aussi des risques auxquels il faut prêter attention au XXIème siècle. Ainsi, les minorités nationales, les communautés linguistiques et les différentes unités constitutives de l’Etat demandent, en faisant appel au principe de la diversité, la reconnaissance de leurs droits collectifs, une multiplication des structures régionales et le perfectionnement de leurs prérogatives. L’apparition des « nouvelles minorités », celles des immigrants posent de nouvelles difficultés. En pratique, la religion historique du pays est privilégiée. Les religions pratiquées par les immigrés – Islam, Bouddhisme, Hindouisme, etc – sont alors l’objet d’une discrimination plus ou moins forte. Le besoin de visibilité de ces religions – et de l’Islam en occurrence – remet en cause le cadre fixé à la fin du XIXème siècle qui régit le fonctionnement des religions dans les divers Etats. Cette évolution touche plus durement les Etats laïcs de tradition catholique comme la France que les pays de tradition protestante où la place du religieux dans l’espace public est par tradition plus facilement acceptée comme le Royaume-Uni. Il faut aussi considérer que les religions importées par les populations migrantes sont souvent des « ethno-religions ». L’enjeu identitaire y est considérable, et il tend même à se substituer à celui de la liberté de croyance. Le Royaume-Uni et la France s’inscrivent dans ce registre à propos de leurs minorités religieuses. / Religious pluralism is an objective reality in France and Great-Britain. The religious minorities remain a recurring subject which inexhaustible reflections, studies, scientific and political debates. They show real concern to policymakers, Europe and State; so much so that it is necessary to wonder about what the State can propose them as better protection in the XXIst century. France and Great-Britain are confronted with this challenge. Besides the neutrality of the State with regard to the religion, makes complex relationships of these religious minorities with the State in France; where the concept of religious minorities is not known of French Law by virtue of the secularity – laic – character of the French State proclaimed by the 1st article of its Constitution and the Law of December 9th, 1905 of the Separation of the State and the Church. The religious minorities are no-subject in French Law. But in Great-Britain, the qualified religious, minorities of religious confessions are recognized when well even the Church of England is established and official Church with at its head Queen Elizabeth II. There is no separation between the Church and the State. In Scotland, the Kirk as considered as established Church and separated from the State. Also, always related to religious minorities, the question of application of reasonable principle of accommodation to draw aside from the cases of discrimination out of religious matter. The British legal order knows this principle and applies. Whereas in France this principle is ignored and is the object of purely abstract application. Admittedly, the globalization brings positive facts to Europe and in particular in these two States, but it contains also risks for which it is necessary to pay attention to the XXIst century. Thus, the national minorities, the speech communities and the various constitutional units of the State require, by calling on the principle of diversity, recognition of their collective rights, a multiplication of regional structures and improvement of their prerogative. The appearance of the “new minorities”, those of immigrants raises new difficulties. In practice, the historical religion of the country is often privileged. The religions practiced by immigrants – Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, etc – are then the object of more or less strong discrimination. The need for the visibility of these religions – Islam I occurrence – calls into question the framework fixed at the end of XIXth century which governs the operation of religions in the various States. This evolution touches hardly the secular States of Catholic tradition like France, than the countries of Protestant tradition where the place of religious in public space is by tradition more easily accepted like Great-Britain. It as should be considered as the religions imported by migrant populations are often “ethno-religions”. The identity challenge is considerable there, and it even tends to replace that of freedom of belief. Great-Britain and France fall under this register in connection with their religious minorities.

This view comes from the representations made in the middle aged Europe and does not reflect the behavior of Islam s faithful people living in our country, but it also represents the imaginary of Brazilian people and interferes directly in the relations among the members of this religious group and the rest of the population. Considering that the Federal Constitution states that every citizen is free for practice the chosen religion, this work intends to analyze the attitude of the media that acts like an instrument of labelling, to demonstrate social mechanisms that cause this behavior of the media and to verify the consequences in the people that lives in Mogi das Cruzes Muslim Community / Segundo os veículos de imprensa, os muçulmanos têm tendências a comportamentos violentos, não têm pré-disposição ao diálogo e oprimem suas mulheres. Esta imagem tem sua origem nas representações elaboradas na Europa medieval e não reflete o comportamento das pessoas fiéis ao Islã que vivem em nosso país, mas está cristalizada no imaginário do povo brasileiro e interfere diretamente nas relações convivência entre os membros deste grupo religioso e o restante da população. Tendo em vista que a Constituição Federal garante a todo cidadão seu direito à liberdade religiosa, este trabalho pretende analisar a postura da mídia que age como instrumento de rotulação, demonstrar os mecanismos sociais que causam esta postura, e verificar quais as consequências desta na vida das pessoas que fazem parte da comunidade muçulmana sediada na cidade de Mogi das Cruzes/SP

This thesis aims to analyze legislation of the Czech legal order concerning religious freedom. The work is divided in 4 parts. The first part of the thesis deals with the definition of religious freedom in the first place. Afterwards the thesis describes the Constitutional law relating to the religious freedom (especially the Article No. 15 and No. 16 of the Charter of the Fundamental Rights and Freedoms of the Czech Republic), international conventions relating to the theme (e.g. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights etc.) and further statutory provisions and legislative rules guaranteeing religious freedom in the Czech Republic. Major part of the thesis relating to the statutory provisions and legislative rules deals with the act No. 3/2002 Coll., on Freedom of religion and the status of churches and religious societies, as amended. The act No. 3/2002 Coll. constitutes basis of regularization of the freedom of religion in the Czech Republic. Various provisions of the act No. 3/2002 Coll. were subject to review of the Constitutional Court of the Czech Republic due to their unconstitutionality. The second part of the thesis discusses various decisions of the...

This thesis contends certain contentious court cases can be traced beyond their legal roots to deep, sometimes incommensurable philosophical disagreements. However, the unitary nature of the judicial system effectively forces the court to take sides, putting its institutional weight and moral authority behind one set of principles and not another. Following Cover, I contend that this encourages future litigants to rephrase their claims in the court’s preferred normative language, thus influencing our normative environment. The theories which guide judicial decisions, however, are generally insufficiently attentive to the court’s normative influence. In response, I attempt adapting Dworkin’s Law as Integrity around Cover’s more sociological view. Chapter 1 examines Cover’s view, Chapter 2 explores Syndicat Northcrest v. Amselem and Delmaagukw v. B.C. as case studies, and Chapter 3 adapts Dworkin around Covers view. My conclusions argue that further inspiration can be drawn from EU Coordinate Constitutionalism and Sui Generis aboriginal rights.

This project examines how Georgia draws the line between religious freedom and child abuse. In Georgia, certain religious parents are granted spiritual exemptions for conduct that would otherwise be prohibited due to its potential harm to children, while other parents must alter their religious practices to conform to the law. An examination of Georgia law governing conduct that is both religiously-motivated and poses a risk of physical harm to children illustrates that Georgia’s spiritual exemptions have contributed to producing legally-defined religious orthodoxy, inconsistent regulation of religious conduct, and less stringent state protection from harm for the children of some religious parents.

Toute coexistence religieuse peut être facteur de conflits religieux ou symbole de respect de liberté, de tolérance ou de vivre ensemble, dépendamment de la façon dont elle est comprise, ou de la nature des religions coexistantes. Même quand chaque religion partage une vision du monde différente par rapport aux autres, on constate que la coexistence entre religions révélées (christianisme, islam, judaïsme – et bouddhisme dans certains cas) est plus facile, car ces religions partagent d’une façon ou d’une autre certaines valeurs communes. Par contre, il est très difficile de concevoir une logique de dialogue entre des religions dites « révélées » et des religions traditionnelles. Pourtant, la rencontre du christianisme avec des cultures religieuses traditionnelles africaines montre que malgré les difficultés, il y a possibilité d’avoir des échanges fructueux aussi avec les religions traditionnelles. Dans le contexte haïtien, la rencontre du christianisme avec le vaudou ne laisse pas toujours la possibilité aux observateurs d’entrevoir que la religion est signe de paix et de cohésion sociale. Étant donné que leur antagonisme se caractérise souvent par des facteurs comme l’intolérance, l’irrespect de la liberté de l’autre, etc., le problème est surtout dans la gestion des rapports religieux. Néanmoins, dans certains cas où les intérêts religieux sont traités en second plan, il y a lieu de constater que le tableau de la coexistence religieux haïtien est riche en symbole de paix et de compréhension mutuelle. Donc, ce travail de recherche cherche à comprendre la conception que le christianisme se fait du vaudou et vice versa, dans le but de voir avec exactitude les facteurs de divergences acceptables (et non acceptables) et ceux qui pourraient être à la base d’un éventuel dialogue interreligieux entre christianisme et vaudou dans le contexte haïtien. Pour améliorer les rapports entre adeptes du vaudou et chrétiens en Haïti, ce travail propose des méthodes pouvant aboutir à un vivre ensemble religieux pacifié, plus tolérant et d’une connaissance réciproque et intelligente de l’autre. Le but du dialogue présenté n’est pas que le christianisme et le vaudou travaillent ensemble à tous les points de vue, ni même qu’ils s’acceptent complètement, il s’agit plutôt d’une proposition d’une vie commune dans la paix, sans calomnies et stéréotypes réciproques. / Any religious coexistence can be a factor of religious conflict or symbol of respect for freedom, tolerance or live together, depending on the way in which it is included, or the nature of the religions in coexistence. Even when each religion shares a vision of the world different compared to the other, it is found that the coexistence between religions (Christianity, Islam and Judaism - and Buddhism in some cases) is more effective, because these religions share in one way or another some common values. On the other hand, it is constantly difficult to conceive of a pluralistic approach in a logic of dialogue between revealed religions and traditional religions. Yet, the meeting of Christianity with traditional African religious cultures shows that despite the difficulties, there is a possibility to have fruitful exchanges also with the traditional religions. In the context of Haiti, the meeting of Christianity with the voodoo does not leave always the possibility for observers to foresee that the religion is a sign of peace and social cohesion. Given that their antagonism is often characterized by factors such as intolerance, the disrespect of the freedom of the other, etc., the problem is especially in the management of religious relationships. Nevertheless, in some cases where the religious interests are treated in the second plan, it has to be noted that the coexistence of these religions in Haiti can be rich in symbol of peace and mutual understanding. Therefore, this research work seeks to understand the design of Christianity from the perspective of voodoo and vice versa, in the aim to see with accuracy the factors of acceptable (and inacceptable) differences and those that could be the basis of a possible interreligious Dialogue between Christianity and Voodoo in the Haitian context.To improve the relationship between the followers of the voodoo and Christians in Haiti, this work finally proposes some methods that can lead to a peaceful religious coexistence, toward more tolerant and a reciprocal knowledge and intelligent approach to the other. The goal of the dialogue presented in this dissertation is neither that Christianity and the Voodoo should work together in all points of view, nor even that they completely recognize mutually their belief, it is rather a proposal for a common life in peace, without slander and reciprocal stereotypes

A partir desta premissa este trabalho busca destacar as diferenças entre o pensamento religioso e o filosófico para assim fundamentar a autonomia da religião de modo a permitir a proteção da liberdade em apreço. As características da cultura são realçadas a fim de demonstrar que a transmissão de hábitos e práticas não-inatas pode tanto beneficiar quanto prejudicar o desenvolvimento da religião. A noção de cultura de empresa auxilia esta pesquisa no sentido de melhor enquadrar as hipóteses em que frequentemente são violados os direitos do trabalhador inclusive o seu direito ao livre exercício da religião. Este exercício da religiosidade é um direito fundamental encartado na Constituição Federal. Posto isso imperiosa a análise das teorias interpretativas que justificam as soluções racionais para os conflitos entre princípios jurídicos. A presente pesquisa se pauta na Teoria dos princípios e na Teoria das restrições de Robert Alexy para justificar o uso da técnica da ponderação de bens e interesses a qual se revela adequada na busca por respostas racionais que solucionem o conflito entre essas normas. Desta maneira permite-se aventar a hipótese de vinculação dos particulares aos direitos fundamentais pugnando-se pelo uso de tais teorias no contexto das relações de trabalho. E é precisamente no contexto dessas relações que o conflito entre direitos fundamentais se torna ainda mais grave em virtude da subordinação jurídica que vincula o trabalhador propiciando a violação a diversos direitos fundamentais que lhe são garantidos. / Salvador

Sendo a religião uma convicção subconsciente de quem a possui, impossível que dela o homem se dissocie no ambiente de emprego, pelo que deve ser respeitada e tolerada, mas desde que seu exercício não implique prejuízos excessivos e desarmonia ambiental. Nesse espeque, dita teoria mostra-se como a melhor técnica de sopesamento entre os direitos fundamentais à livre iniciativa e à propriedade privada em circunstância conflituosa com o exercício da liberdade religiosa, servindo de parâmetro às alterações contratuais do vínculo empregatício, moldadas pela legislação trabalhista. Assim, práticas de cunho religioso como proselitismo, escusa de consciência e mudança de credo devem ser acomodadas, porém, em consonância com os limites nucleares dos direitos fundamentais em voga. A pretensão especial dessa pesquisa é demonstrar que o dever da acomodação razoável é a instrumentalização mais equilibrada da aplicabilidade dos direitos fundamentais sobre as relações privadas, devendo por isso ser difundida no Brasil por representar também, mesmo que indiretamente, a redução das práticas intolerantes e discriminatórias. / The present dissertation was developed in order to demonstrate that the American theory of the duty of reasonable accommodation, the duty of reasonable accommodation, can be accepted in the Brazilian legal system as an instrument of effectiveness of the fundamental right to freedom of conscience and belief, especially when coated religious freedom to be exercised in the employment relationship. Since religion is a subconscious conviction of who possesses it, it is impossible for man to dissociate himself from the environment of employment, so he must be respected and tolerated, but provided that his exercise does not entail excessive harm and environmental disharmony. In this context, this theory is shown as the best technique for balancing the fundamental rights to free initiative and private property in a situation that conflicts with the exercise of religious freedom, serving as a parameter to the contractual changes in the employment relationship, shaped by labor legislation. Thus, religious practices such as proselytism, conscientious objection and change of creed should be accommodated, however, in line with the core limits of fundamental rights in vogue. The special claim of this research is to demonstrate that the duty of reasonable accommodation is the most balanced instrumentalization of the applicability of fundamental rights over private relations, and should therefore be diffused in Brazil because it also represents, even indirectly, the reduction of intolerant and discriminatory practices .

O Brasil é um país laico, tendo adotado esta condição a partir do período republicano, iniciado com a Constituição de 1891. Desde 1946, foi assegurada a imunidade religiosa para os templos de qualquer culto, o que significa dizer que as igrejas são livres da cobrança de impostos sobre seu patrimônio, renda e serviços vinculados às suas atividades essenciais. Considerando o exposto, esta Dissertação discute problemas relacionados à imunidade religiosa, partindo da laicidade religiosa, com análise das constituições brasileiras e legislações relacionadas com o tema, tendo como foco a administração tributária, incluindo a fiscalização e execução da lei. / Brazil is a secular country, and has adopted this condition since the Republican period, which began with the 1891 Constitution. Since 1946, religious immunity has been assured to the temples of any belief, which means that churches are free of charge taxes on its assets and income tied to their core activities. Considering the above, this study discusses issues related with religious immunity, from religious secularism, with examination of Brazilian constitutions and related legislation on the subject, focusing tax administration, including the supervision and law execution.
