Chapter 12 · A secular state and a multi-religious country
Bilden visar stat och invånare i Sverige. Vad kan samtidigt gälla på de två nivåerna?
The diagram shows the state and residents in Sweden. What can apply at both levels at once?
Correct answer: A neutral state and several religions among residents
Secular describes the state’s relationship with religion here. Multi-religious describes the presence of different religions among the population; the concepts do not contradict each other.
