Abstract
The chapter offers a qualitative study of Finnish legal regulation of the religious domain. It focuses on the activities of the Finnish supreme overseers of legality, the Chancellor of Justice of the Government and the Parliamentary Ombudsman, and the way these legal actors – through their performances of legality – engage with, relate to, and handle the domestic religious landscape and individual religiosity and different trends when it comes to religion and non-religion. The empirical material consists of published decisions and annual reports by the supreme overseers of legality during the 21st century.
