How the French government and parliament were leaded into a witch-hunt

The phenomenon of religious persecution has been known through the ages, as witness the Bacchanals affair in Rome in 187 BC or even, if we may believe Aristophanes, the process against Socrates, accused of having wanted to introduce a new religion. These persecutions were particularly intense against monotheistic religions, even though they tolerated the practice of several ancient cults with which they felt ties. In the 19th century, the French revolution hailed the end of persecution of protestants and marked the integration of Jews in the nation, even if refractory priests were treated extremely harshly. With the law of 1905 on the separation of church and state in France, discrimination appeared to have become impossible and yet only a few decades ago, France and other western countries saw the emergence of campaigns against “sects”. The word sect has two origins: a minority group that has separated (from the Latin secare) or a group that has followed a leader (from the Latin sequi).
