| Summary: | Public funding of religious activities in France has been characterized for a long time by its exceptional status. It establishes an exception in relation to other social activities, insofar as Article 2 of the 1905 Act enshrines a specific principle of prohibition of any public financial support to religious groups. It was a law of exception in the territorial sense too, since the common law of religious activities defined by the 1905 Act does not apply in certain geogra-phical areas. This double exceptionality is about to fade, in favour of a public funding of religious activities which tends to be closer to the common law of funding of social activities, and in all parts of the territory. |
