Abstract

Abstract This article deals with one of the perennial questions of legal and political philosophy, ie, how the state should relate to religion? It makes a distinction between five models: (i) the atheist state, (ii) the theocratic state, (iii) the model of an official state church, (iv) the multiculturalist state, and (v) the agnostic state (or secular state). The authors reflect on the legitimacy of each of these models. Some states reclaim their right to adopt an official religion as their state religion or as the religious Leitkultur of their country (model iii). Others favor the support of religion as long as this is premised on the equal rights of all religions (model iv). And others think that the state can only support equal citizenship if the state does not support any religion whatsoever (model v).

国家与宗教的五种模式:无神论、神权政治、国家教会、多元文化主义和世俗主义
本文探讨了法律哲学和政治哲学中一个长期存在的问题,即国家应该如何与宗教相联系?它区分了五种模式:(i)无神论国家,(ii)神权国家,(iii)官方国家教会模式,(iv)多元文化国家,(v)不可知论国家(或世俗国家)。作者对这些模型的合法性进行了反思。一些国家主张他们有权采用官方宗教作为他们的国教或作为他们国家的宗教文化(模式三)。另一些国家赞成支持宗教,只要这是以所有宗教的平等权利为前提的(模式四)。还有一些国家认为,只有当国家不支持任何宗教(模式五)时,国家才能支持平等的公民身份。
