Abstract

The financing of religious activities by religious groups is a significant site of interaction between state and religion. Religious financing law allows the state to facilitate or deter religious activity so as to advance state interests. The exercise of state power in this way has potential costs; most obviously, it undermines religious autonomy, favours religious groups whose activities align with state purposes, and may pose human rights concerns.
