| Summary: | Modernity has forced religions to lose, gradually and in different ways, control over public space, despite various attempts of recovery and repositioning. «Fundamentalism» is one of many possible answers to the modern challenges. Can we find other answers that guarantee more freedom, justice, and peace in Post-colonial Muslim societies and States? The crisis of religions in the modern world interrogates the concept of religion itself: What is it for? What is its social and political mission? What does religion offer today in public space? The author starts from the Tunisian experience, to propose an approach to the problematic relationship between religion and politics, trying to overcome the crisis by reconciling Secular state with religious values and principles. The article is not a summary of the extensive current debate; nevertheless, it is in dialogue with all the efforts in this field. |
