description | This text analyses the constitutional principles of the Spanish legal system in the area of religion: freedom of religion, religious equality, the laicity of the State and co-operation with religious denominations.

The author suggests that safeguarding these basic rights involves positive action on the part of all of the public powers, with the objective of guaranteeing the real, effective exercising of them. |
