Why do secular states pursue different policies toward religion? This book examines the impact of ideological struggles on public policy making. Specifically, it analyzes why American state policies are largely tolerant of religion ('passive secularism'), whereas French and Turkish policies generally prohibit its public visibility ('assertive secularism').
