Like the most African states, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Gabon and Senegal have a system of religious pluralism. However, if the latter is inadequately regulated, it can lead to interreligious or even socio-political conflicts. However, we note the absence of such religious excesses in these states. This absence could be explained by the existence of a legal regime of secularism that guarantees religious pluralism due to its relatively liberal character. This character stems from the limited consolidation of norms favouring religious freedom, and the moderate affirmation of those fostering the diversity of faith-based organizations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
