"Quebec’s secularism crusade is often justified by invoking France. But France’s model, widely criticized for the problems of religious liberty it creates, was born of a century-long struggle with Catholic dominance. Quebec’s situation is different: the Catholic Church’s grip was broken in the Quiet Revolution of the 1960s. What remains today is not clerical tyranny but pluralism—Muslim students praying on campus, Jewish communities requesting kosher meals, Sikhs wearing turbans."
