法国对“邪教”的独特反应通常被描述为宗教多样性的同质问题的结果。本文的目的是提出一种思考法国邪教争议的另一种方式，并最终提出“世俗”概念作为法国应对宗教多样性的解释框架。它利用经验数据来研究“世俗”和“邪教”等概念如何在官方话语中使用并转化为行政实践。这种方法强调，世俗并不是预先决定对“邪教”单方面反应的驱动力，但世俗与世俗一样，换句话说，是一种高度主张和争议的价值，反映了对邪教现象的不同政治和行政方法。 “世俗公民与宗教多样性”的框架也被另一个重要的观察所破坏。虽然它认为邪教争议主要是一个宗教问题，但最近对“邪教”的打击的复兴似乎是由于“邪教”与宗教领域的部分脱离以及扩展到更广泛的实践和新领域而成为可能。
France’s distinctive reaction towards ‘cults’ is generally described as a result oflaïcité’s consubstantial problems with religious diversity. The aim of this article is to present an alternative way of thinking about the French cult controversy and, ultimately, about the concept of ‘laïcité’ as an explanatory framework for France’s response to religious diversity. It draws on empirical data to look at how notions such as ‘laïcité’ and ‘cults’ are used in official discourses and translated into administrative practice. This approach emphasizes thatlaïcitéis not a driving force that predetermines a unilateral response to ‘cults’, but thatlaïcité is as laïcité does,in other words a highly claimed and contested value, reflecting divergent political and administrative approaches to the cult phenomenon. The framework ‘laïcitéversus religious diversity’ is also undermined by another crucial observation. While it sees the cult controversy as primarily a religious issue, it seems that the recent revitalization of the combat against ‘cults’ was made possible by its partial dissociation from the religious sphere and its extension to a wider range of practices and new areas.
