The issue of contemporary relations between Church and State in the EU has been interdisciplinary and critically analyzed in the Paper in the context of European integration process. EU mainly considers its Churches and religious communities the affirmative subjects and potentials to be equally treated and integrated in the acquis communitaire, pretending to stay religiously neutral. The whole secular concept is to be developed by leaving major positive law regulations and authorizations on the member state level, without intention to define more preciously the issue of European Identity as the basis for EU strategic development.
