Abstract
Abstract: Democracy and Religion in the constitutional horizon – The relationship
between democracy and religion appears rather variable in the course of history, as it
presents phases of heated dialectic alternated with moments of significant harmony. The
essay aims to highlight that different democratic political systems of the contemporary
world, based on their respective constitutional legal systems, are based on values of a
religious nature, and in particular on certain principles originally affirmed by the Christian
religion. In particular, most of today's democracies relating to the so-called cultural area
"Western" have their roots especially in Christian thought, which originally placed its ideal
and political premises, postulating the fundamental need to promote the dignity and freedom
of the person also through the protection of human conscience towards public authority.
