Qu'est-ce que la laïcité ?
What is laïcité?
Correct answer
Un principe qui sépare l'État et les religions, impose la neutralité de l'État et garantit la liberté de croire ou de ne pas croire
A principle that separates the State and religions, requires the State to be neutral and guarantees the freedom to believe or not to believe
Why
Laïcité rests on three ideas: separation of the State and religions, neutrality of the State, and freedom of conscience for everyone. Public servants must be neutral at work, but they keep their personal beliefs. From the official naturalisation knowledge-question list.
