Abstract

This research paper explores the intricate interplay between secularism and religious freedom, analysing their impact on societal coexistence. Beginning with a historical overview, the paper traces the evolution of secularism and the development of concepts related to religious freedom, providing a foundational understanding for the subsequent discussions. Various theoretical frameworks, including laïcité, multiculturalism, and secular humanism, are examined to gain insights into how different approaches to secular governance influence religious rights and freedoms. Case studies from countries such as France, the United States, and India are analysed to illustrate practical implications and challenges in achieving coexistence between secularism and religious freedom. The paper highlights the importance of understanding these dynamics for fostering mutual respect, tolerance, and inclusivity within pluralistic societies. The conclusion emphasizes the significance of this study in addressing societal dynamics, governance structures, and individual rights. It underscores the need for nuanced policy interventions and societal dialogues to navigate the complexities of secularism and religious freedom in contemporary contexts.
