Religion

The most striking of the legal differences is the absence of separation of church and state — even though the constitutional right of freedom of religion is guaranteed. Separation of church and state is a Political and Legal Doctrine that Government and religious institutions are to be kept separate Freedom of religion is the freedom of an individual or community in public or private to manifest religion or belief in teaching practice worship and observance Alsace-Moselle is still under the pre-1905 regime established by the Concordat, which provides for the public subsidy of the Roman Catholic Church, the Lutheran Church, the Calvinist Church and the Jewish religion as well as public education in those religions (parents may refuse religious education for their children).

Those dispositions are unusual in a country where Church and State are more strictly separated than in most other countries. Controversy erupts periodically on the appropriateness of these and other extraordinary legal dispositions of Alsace-Moselle. Periodically, freethinker groups contend that this public funding of certain religions should stop. Freethought is a philosophical viewpoint that holds that Beliefs should be formed on the basis of Science and Logic and should not be influenced Others argue that, nowadays, the second largest religion in France is Islam and that Islam should thus enjoy comparable status with the four official religions.

Despite the controversy, the status quo continues to persist. Status quo is a Latin term meaning the present existing state of affairs or "the state in which"
