The book delves into the phenomenon of anticultism and antireligious movements in France, highlighting the influence of secularism on attitudes towards minority and new religions. It examines state-sponsored initiatives like MIVILUDES, which monitor sectarian activities. A significant focus is placed on the Church of Scientology, tracing its history in France since the 1950s and its role as a target for anticultist sentiment. The conclusion offers insights into the future of minority religions in the country, complemented by a timeline of key events in anticultism.
