JEF declares its opposition to any form of mentioning religion, the role of the church or a „spiritual” heritage in the evolving Constitution. The European Union is a political organisation with a strict separation of its “statehood” and church(es). Nevertheless, it is up to the member states to define their relations to the church in a different way if they wish to do so.

Given the variety of experience with the role of church in the EU member states it would be wrong to find a reference in the Constitution. In addition, the pluralistic character of the European citizens with regards to (non-)belief, ethnicity or culture is one of the strenghts of the Union. To give preference to one group only (in case of a regligious reference) might not be helpful in this regard.
Since the Union has no and shall have no competences with regards to the organisation of churches it would be wrong to include reference to it in the Constitution.
