Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton said yesterday that protecting the freedom to practice religion throughout the world is one of the most important missions of U.S. foreign and domestic policy.
But the New York Democrat, in a speech last night on religious liberty and church-state relations, said that goal must include trying to "create a space for nonbelievers" as well.

This article explores how modern, religiously motivated terrorism - and in particular, the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001 - has affected the delicate balance between individual religious liberty and national security.

It is probably not pretentious to assert that in the second half of the 1970s Spain experienced one of the most successful democratic transitions in history. This is certainly unusual considering Spain's political history, during which democracy had neither deep nor long-lasting roots. In this movement towards democracy, the 1980 Organic Law on Religious Freedom played an essential role. The author has in mind certain analogies that relate to the political situation in the strict sense and also those relating to other issues, such as socio-religious circumstances or prevailing cultural patterns. This article does not propose that Spain's political transition or its system of church-state relations are models for all nations to imitate. However, it is always useful to learn from other co...
