From Secularism Into Modified Pluralism: Comprehensive Application Of John Rawls’S Justice As Fairness Theory In Defining State And Religion Relationship, Sigit Ardianto

Cornell Law School Inter-University Graduate Student Conference Papers

The task of defining the most effective state and religion relationship has been a daunting one. Courts and jurists in different parts of the world have been engaged in this chore for centuries. This paper aims to investigate the state-religion relationship conundrum and the shift from secularism to pluralism and examine modification of pluralism through comprehensive adoption of John Rawls’s justice as fairness theory. The focus of this paper will be placed on the state-religion relationship in the United States and Indonesia whilst also observing the practice in other countries.
