Summary/Abstract: The increasing number of legal, theological and political studies and publications on “law and religion” in recent years reveals anew academic interest in Central and Eastern Europe after the fall of communism. In contrast to many other Western academic studies, the comparative study on law and religion and related concepts (items) in former communist countries focuses on the religious and democratic rebirth of the region. The present study distinguishes between both sides of the regulation of law and religion: the constitutional developments of the church-state relation and the status of state commitments towards the respect of freedom of religion.
