Individual chapters address the issues related to defining and understanding the concept of religious freedom and incorporate sociological thinking into interdisciplinary analysis of this topic. By interpreting legal cases, analyzing cross-national data, interviewing policy-makers, and reviewing policy-papers concerning religious freedom, the authors highlight the necessity of sociology engaging with other disciplines in this type of research. By applying theories of religious pluralism, secularity, secularization, judicialization of religion, “lived religion”, total institutions, and others, this volume contributes theoretical perspectives, sociological concepts and empirical analyses that highlight the development of religious freedom as an area of study in the social sciences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFigures and Tables  Notes on Contributors    Introduction—Religious Freedom: Social-Scientific Approaches    Olga Breskaya, Roger Finke, and Giuseppe Giordan    PART 1  Religious Freedom, Secularity and Secularism    1 How does Secularity “Travel”?: Toward a Policy Mobilities Approach in the Study of Religious Freedoms    Efe Peker    2 Religious Freedom, Legal Activism, and Muslim Personal Law in Contemporary India: A Sociological Exploration of Secularism    Anindita Chakrabarti    3 Religious Freedom and Secularism in Post-Revolutionary Tunisia    Anna Grasso    4 Religious Pluralism, Religious Freedom and the Secularization Process in the Greek Educational System    Alexandros Sakellariou    PART 2  Multi-level Study of Religious Freedom    5 Regulating Sincerity: Religion, Law, Public Policy, and the Ambivalence of Religious Freedom in Pluralist Societies    Zaheeda P.
