Summary/Abstract: This paper tackles freedom of religion and freedom of speech in the domain of critique of religion in EU member states through three main models (French, German and English) that they employ in the organization of their relationship with the religious communities of their citizens. It mentions potential problems of these models of secularism in the domains of freedom of religion and freedom of speech, citing for each model at least a single illustration of widely known controversies from the XX and XXI centuries. The conclusion, after noticing general tendencies present in each model, raises several short theoretical questions related to secularism of the state and society - with a look at secularism in public and media space - in the postsecular world.
