The legal regime established by the Constitution of 1978 and subsequent legislation has provided a positive framework for the development of religious freedom and church-state relations in Spain. The norms regarding religious freedom in the Spanish legal system have earned praise in international forums and serve as a model of relations between the State and religious groups. In particular, to date, the State has established cooperation agreements with the Catholic Church (1979) and three non-catholic religious groups �the Federation of Evangelical Religious Entities of Spain, the Federation of Jewish Communities of Spain and the Islamic Commission of Spain (1992)�. This article, in the context of the General Act on Religious Freedom (1980) reform, analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of the Spanish model of relations between the state and religious groups.
