Abstract :
[en] This paper compares the ways of recognition and public support to humanist/atheist organisations in 6 European countries. They are also compared with dispositions regarding religions - and more particularly islam - in Belgium, The Netherlands, Britain, France, Germany and Italy. These countries have been chosen because of the difference of regimes in supporting religions and philosophical communities.
