The nature of religious education in Norwegian schools has been conditioned by the relationship between the state and the church. Hence the question: “Does Norway guarantee freedom of thought, belief and religion?” The main aim of the paper is to analyze the changes in the relationships between the state and the church, the state and religion as well as the location of Religious Education in Norwegian schools in the historical, juridical, social, and political context. The aims and scopes of religious education together with curricula in the comprehensive schools seem to be exceptional among European states. The social changes, including immigration from states with a different cultural background, and the rise of the humanities impact the changes in Norway and the Norwegian Church.
