1. 1. The
Parliamentary Assembly notes that religion is an important feature of European
society. Las notas de la Asamblea Parlamentaria
que la religión es una característica importante de la sociedad europea. This is
because of the historic fact that certain religions have been present for
centuries and because of their influence in Europe's
history. Esto es debido al hecho histórico que algunas religiones han estado presentes durante siglos y debido a su influencia en la historia de Europa. Religions are still multiplying on our continent today, with a wide variety of churches and beliefs. Las religiones se siguen multiplicando en nuestro continente hoy en día, con una amplia variedad de iglesias y creencias.
2. 2. Organised religions as such are part and parcel of society and must therefore be considered as institutions set up by and involving citizens who have the right to freedom of religion, but also as organisations that are part of civil society, with all its potential for providing guidance on ethical and civic issues, which have a role to play in the national community, be it religious or secular.
