Abstract
Romanian state attempted to use religious organizations to achieve certain political goals in the modern era. This has prevented the development of religious pluralism. It took a whole historical process to resolve disputes that exist between the state, the religions and society.
The emergence of a mature and responsible civil society favoured the development of religious pluralism in Romania. Solving problems within the Romanian society was also favoured by the belonging to a stable political and cultural space (the European Union).
This text aims at highlighting the evolution of state-religions-society relations in contemporary Romania, from state control over the religious affairs to a state that is neutral in religious matters.
