(Calenda ad 1145310)
The history of the separation of Church and State, whose epicenter is the law of December 9, 1905, has been the subject of abundant literature, albeit measured against the growing importance that the French public debate has accorded to the question of secularism over the past thirty years. The historical dimension of secularism remains to be written. The aim is to create a new dimension in the history of French secularism, by analyzing the way in which the idea of separation and secularism, from the launch of the debate on this subject in 1902, through to the legal stabilization of 1924 (agreement on the Dioceses) and the familiarization of French society with this reality some ten years later (1935), has been perceived by the social sciences.
