Monks

In countries laity, the separation between State and Church is clear. On the contrary, in non-secular countries, there is a state religion practiced by the majority of the population. This religion is thus listed in the Constitution. This is the case in most Arab countries. They are non-secular, Muslim countries and Islam is decreed as the religion of State. Among these nations can be mentioned: Emirates Arabs United, Kuwait, Libya, Syria, Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, Sudan, Somalia, Palestine, Djibouti, Mauritania, the Sultanate of Oman, etc.

In certain countries of Europe, the relations between the State and the Church are still very close. However, this does not mean that the STATUS and the Church have not separated. Therefore it is difficult to specify that the State is secular or non-secular, since some have an official religion. The case of some countries it shows. In Denmark, none religion is declared a state religion, but the ministers of the cults Lutherans they continue their training in public universities.

They have the status of civil servants and are paid as such. The Church It is under the supervision of the Ministry of Ecclesiastical Affairs. In any case, the rest of the religions are recognized and benefit from certain advantages. The Countries Low It is not declared a secular country, but Protestantism is the main religion that dominates the country. The rest of religions they cohabit freely.

In Belgium, Catholicism It is the official religion of the monarchy and the State and the Church are not officially separated. In the UK, the free practice of religion exists, but in any case the monarchy adopt the official religion. Monaco, Germany, Norway and Greece they are also countries that do not proclaim themselves secular. Specifically, Spain is a country non-denominational, which is not the same as layman.
