Odvojenost crkve I države. Prilog izučavanju politike i religije.

SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE. CONTRIBUTION TO THE STUDY OF POLITICS AND RELIGION.

EUROPE; UNITED States

The article deals with the separation of church and state as the key historical turning point in the creation of one of the fundamental determining factors of contemporary states and political systems. The author gives an account of the contributions of the American and European political traditions, and presents a very comprehensive historical context in which Christianity introduced a new model of relations between church and state. The Western tradition of church-state interrelations is essentially characterized by the problem of separation, and by various legal-political arrangements founded on the principle of separation of church and state. Consequently, the article aims to put forward some of the relevant ideas which contributed to the creation of the church separation principle, as well as some of the basic elements of the relations between church and state in contemporary political systems.
