dc.descriptionThe concept or definition of religion has always been a contested and complex question. This study will undertake a brief overview of some attempts at defining it, some international guidelines, the definition under Hungarian law, and finally a few court cases to examine the existing practices related to the concept. There are multiple ways to approach the concept of religion, mainly from definitions in international law, state law, ecclesiastical law, and definitions relating to the individual person. This study will limit itself to the examination of the aforementioned definitions and will not attempt to answer the individual aspect of religion. Additionally, state law and ecclesiastical law will be presented from a Hungarian perspective.
