Abstract: Questions about the relationship between religion and politics are discussed with particular focus on the consequences for religious education. Norway is taken as an example of a country where increasing cultural diversity challenges traditional politics of religion. In the present climate of conflicting views on the role of religion in politics, religious education is higher on the political agenda in many European countries, but it is unclear which path the governments choose to follow. For religious educators it is important to engage critically in the political debate about religion, and to show a basic political loyalty towards the education of the individual child and towards improving the lifeworld of children.

TL;DR: The British Journal of Religious Education has an international remit as mentioned in this paper, and the work of the Council of Europe in the field of religion and education is discussed in detail in this paper.
Abstract: The British Journal of Religious Education has an international remit. However, this editorial concentrates on developments associated with the Council of Europe. These
are by no means inward looking, since the Council of Europe is deeply concerned with Europe’s relationship with the rest of the world. It is an especially appropriate point
to consider the work of the Council of Europe in the field of religions and education. The year 2008 was the European year of intercultural dialogue, in which the Council
of Europe published its important White Paper on ntercultural Dialogue (Council of Europe 2008), which includes a section on religion. The Committee of Ministers’
recommendation to member states on the dimension of religions and non-religious convictions within intercultural education is likely to appear during 2009. A further
important development is the launch this year of a European Centre – the European Wergeland Centre, based in Oslo – closely connected to the Council of Europe, and
covering research and teacher training in intercultural education and education for democratic citizenship, including the dimension of religion.
