Summary/Abstract: How does the European political and legal profile changed since the early twentieth century? The purpose of this article is to engage a common consensus on the current pluralism as a significant tool of the analysis of the relation between stat-church-citizen. This attempt restores, in fact, the two major dimensions of the political scene in western democracies. The first of these is the political and legal dimension. More specifically, this dominated most Western democracies in the postwar period. From the outside, this dimension remains the official issue, especially in European plural reality. A second dimension, the cultural dimension, summarizes several issues and captures the conflict of traditional aspects of ideology.
