It works better if it is not too secularized: the Croatian constitutional model for regulating state-church relations

This chapter examines models of regulation of church–state relations in Europe with special emphasis on the cooperation model, which secures two principles in coexistence: that of a secular state and that of acknowledging the right of religious communities to be a part of the social fibre of public order. The chapter critically underlines how neutral tendencies of secularity in the modern neoliberal world, over time, acquire negative attitudes towards religion and religious expression in the public sphere by becoming too secularized, in turn leading to aggressive secularization, contrary to the principle of human rights. Croatia serves as an example of a state in which secularity and cooperation of state and religious communities works well.
