- This 163-page output examines the manifestation of religious belief from a historical, religious/cultural and legal perspective to develop a clear analysis of how the manifestation of belief ought to be approached by the courts. It combines a number of methodologies: empirical, comparative and multidisciplinary research and includes new empirical data drawn from 25 in-depth qualitative interviews as well as an in-depth study of the law in three jurisdictions (England, France and the United States) and analysis of the historical, sociological and anthropological literature on religious symbols.
