‘The Status of Religion and the Public Benefit in Charity Law’ is an apologetic for maintaining the presumption of public benefit for the charitable category ‘advancement of religion’ in democratic countries within the English common law tradition. The argument consists of three broad fronts.

Second, there is the qualitative approach that considers the positive effects of religion – both tangible and intangible – in the lives of individuals.
