The development of the European Union (EU), in both composition and competence, has led to an expansion in the volume of its laws and other regulatory instruments dealing with religion.

520 |a The development of the European Union (EU), in both composition and competence, has led to an expansion in the volume of its laws and other regulatory instruments dealing with religion. So much so that scholars are increasingly today talking about ‘EU law on religion’ as a distinct legal category. This study proposes that a juridical approach provides a concrete insight into the posture of the EU towards religion. The study examines a wide range of legal sources, including treaties (among which the Lisbon Treaty is significant), directives, decisions and case-law as they touch directly or indirectly on religion. From all these sources it is evident that key religious phenomena are now formally known to EU law - religious associations, beliefs, rules, teaching, rites and authorities. It is suggested that underlying its legal instruments seem to be eight key principles at work in the approach of the EU to religion: the value of religion; cooperation with religion; religious freedom; religious autonomy; religious equality; special protection for religion; and the concept of religious privilege. In turn, however, the study asks whether these accurately represent the general principles of law on religion common to member states of the EU.
