This paper analyzes a recent decision of the Italian Constitutional Court concerning the possibility of an agreement according to article 8 of the Constitution with an atheist group. This contribution focuses in particular on the qualification of the applicant as "confessione religiosa" and on the lack of a general law o religious freedom in the Italian legal order. I argue, in accordance with the decision of the Constitutional Court, that only such a law would create a legal framework capable of protecting the equality of religious and secular groups before the law.

Abstract

This paper analyzes a recent decision of the Italian Constitutional Court concerning the possibility of an agreement according to article 8 of the Constitution with an atheist group. This contribution focuses in particular on the qualification of the applicant as "confessione religiosa" and on the lack of a general law o religious freedom in the Italian legal order. I argue, in accordance with the decision of the Constitutional Court, that only such a law would create a legal framework capable of protecting the equality of religious and secular groups before the law.
