On the eve of both the bicentennial of the French Revolution and the advent of European citizenship, the formative symbols and underlying myths of the Nation-State have become more central than ever to the political debate. With immigration becoming less foreign, less migrant, increasingly resident here and now, and less oriented to the country of origin, France is developing into an even more multi-ethnic and multicultural society, where its history, identity and future are being questioned.

What is the impact of religion on social policy in the world of today? The article starts out by showing how this influence can exist on many levels and take highly varied forms and then goes on to illustrate this influence using three modern-day examples: the influence of Gandhi in India, the social teachings of the Catholic Church since the election of John-Paul II and the impact of Islam in Black African countries. The article concludes on the failure of the predominant ideas of the 19th century, still in existence today—positivism and the socialist ideal—and powerless to offer direction in daily life.
