Description: The book considers the basic legal provisions made by six countries (England, Germany, Spain, Ireland and the United States of America) to accommodate religion and to facilitate religious freedom, specifically in publicly-funded schools. In looking at church-state relationships in general, this book examines the character, structure, and degree of separation of church and state in each country, and summarizes the provision made in publicly-funded schools for religious education.
