“In the republican context, freedom of expression involves all the players in society and mobilises a wide range of intellectual resources. What then are the conditions that foster it while respecting plural convictions, including that of atheism? Can the historical depth of French culture and the French state, whose traditional foundations have been shaken by the arrival of other religious forms, give rise to other ethical references so that freedom of expression can enhance religious freedom? The reflections of authors from different disciplines on this delicate and tense subject show how the relationship between freedom of expression and religious freedom is interwoven and interdependent. The result is a fruitful debate, to which this book is intended to bear witness. The richness and subtleties that are brought to light invite readers to continue their reflection wherever they are.

“Dans le contexte républicain, la liberté d’expression engage tous les acteurs de la société et mobilise une diversité importante de ressources intellectuelles. Quelles sont alors les conditions qui la favorisent dans le respect des convictions plurielles dont celle de l’athéisme ? L’épaisseur historique de la culture et de l’État français, bousculée dans ses fondements traditionnels par l’arrivée d’autres formes religieuses, peut-elle faire naître des références éthiques autres pour que la liberté d’expression mette en valeur la liberté religieuse ? Sur ce sujet délicat et en tension, les réflexions d’auteurs de différentes disciplines montrent le tissage et l’interdépendance des lieux où intervient le rapport entre liberté d’expression et liberté religieuse. Une fécondité en naît, dont cet ouvrage veut en être un témoignage. Les richesses et les subtilités qui y sont mises en lumière invitent les lecteurs à continuer la réflexion du lieu où ils se trouvent.”
