The Crisis that Was Not There: Notes on a Reply

Abstract:     
In this response to Lorenzo Zucca's critique (… A reply to Professor Sajó) of his 2008 article, Preliminaries to a Concept of Constitutional Secularism, Professor Sajó pronounces himself grateful for the opportunity to examine specific examples of the rationales being advanced in order to “create a space for special practices that do not conform to constitutional values.” At the end of the day, he remains persuaded of the dangers of including religious phraseology and concepts in law that would give “too much aid and comfort” to already privileged religious organizations, in the name of free exercise of religion.
