    This paper offers a sociological and cultural global vision (fixing Sociology of Religion, Legal Sociology, Cultural Studies, etc.) about the American religious factor and its dimensions in various frameworks (i.e. religious liberty, Church - State relations, welfare state & solidarity).

    With this aim in mind, it begins with a brief notion of the evolution of religious issues, fro m colonial Sunday regulation or the Blue Laws, up to current regulation on freedom of religion and non - discrimination. Also, this paper offers a systematic set of diverse legal sources (i.e. Executive orders and rulings, Legislative statutes, Judicial case s and resolutions). This paper also evaluates the allegedly paradoxical policies and regulations referring to this issue during two previous presidential Administrations, those of CLINTON and G.W. BUS
