Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this work is to contribute to an enrichment of the knowledge concerning the religious liberty and the regime of cults of the past two centuries. The present work is not only an introduction in the analysis of the post-French Revolution ideological and religious system, but also an inter-disciplinary study. A note worthy approach is taken with the analysis of the incitements concerning the religious liberty in Mill’s theory. In this perspective, the article analyses the transformations of the European spiritual environment through a parallel between Mill’s philosophical ideas and the religious practices of the XIXth century.
