The Liberty of Religious Rights and Religious Education in the Frame of the State Legislation in Hungary

Scientific Essay from the year 2012 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Region: Eastern Europe, Károli Gáspár University of the Reformed Church, language: English, abstract: In this short essay, the authors would intend to present the possible opportunities of religious education in the frame of the state legislation. Based on the current legislative issues, every faithful is entitled to get the proper religious education related to his/her own belief. However, the scale of the religious congregations might be very wide, hence the state must create a frame to fit the small churches into it. On the other hand, only the historical churches are based upon appropriate hierarchical legal structures, which of course, could be fitted into the legal frames. Therefore, it is highly recommended to deal with the Catholic legislation, and then opening up the scope towards the other historical as well as smaller churches.
