The reviewed book is the collective study titled For the freedom of speech and religion. Practice and theory (ed. pr. Franciszek Longchamps de Bérier, Krzysztof Szczucki, Warsaw 2016). It comprises several texts discussing problems related to the legal regulation and possibilities for realization of the freedom of speech and the freedom of religion, particularly their mutual relation. As regards the Polish law, the following issues are presented: an offense against religious feelings, the legal regulation of the ritual slaughter, the presence of religious symbols in public space, as well as the freedom to obey religious norms. As regards foreign regulations, the matters discussed include: the conditions for the realization of the freedom of religion in contemporary France as a secular state, the most recent case law of the Supreme Court of the United States in cases related to freedom of speech, as well as the case of violating freedom of speech of members of Pussy Riot group by Russian authorities. It shall be emphasised that various approaches and adopted research perspectives are presented. As expected by authors, the book shall contribute to promoting “libertarian decisions” and “libertarian attitudes”.
