[Returning or turning to religious figures in social work?]

The social workers tell to be more and more often exposed to the religious reference table of the people they help and confronted to internal conflicts in the teams when it is a question of delimiting the borders of the religious freedom of expression in a laic frame. Besides they observe processes of affiliations-reaffiliations which pass by unchecked uses of religious practices, in particular when it concerns muslims people, which tends to become among young people of popular districts, and more marginally among the middle-class teenagers, in search of a reassuring orthopraxie, the support of a militant action for a project of new value identities disqualified or assigned, at risk of falling over to the communitarianism or the radicalization.
