The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union in the Light of the Principle of Unity in Diversity (Part II)

Summary/Abstract: The elimination of religious references in the CFR’s preamble can be interpreted as a disregard for the tradition of appeals to God and Christianity, typical for the most EU member states, which should be reflected in the EU symbols in the name of respecting the principle of unity in diversity. The rejection of invocatio Dei is a sign of reluctance to the functioning of the religious factor in the public space, based on the anti-clericalism rooted in the French Enlightenment, despite the declaration expressed in the Charter that its axiological layer primarily reflects the common constitutional traditions of the member states.
