Abstract
Although the regulation of religious organizations, churches, and religious practices is not directly within EU jurisdiction, free movement of persons - the very same pillar upon which the European experiment rests - makes European citizenship and religion inevitably intertwined. The individual circulating freely in the EU is, in fact, both a European citizen and the bearer of a "religious" identity. This paper investigates this sensitive combination and intersection of identities that challenges the traditional concept of European citizenship per se.
