    The Religious Foundations of Radical Liberalism between Secularism and Orthodoxy: The “Philosophy of Freedom” of the Spanish Publicist Roque Barcia, 1821–1885 – This paper analyses the complex relationship between religion and politics within the development of the Spanish liberal nation in the second half of the 19th century, on the basis of the republican writer Roque Barcia’s works (1821–1885). An approach to Barcia’s political philosophy, deeply anti-clerical but strongly inspired by evangelical principles, introduces complexity to the way in which the secularization process has usually been thought of. It emphasizes the need for understanding the changes that occurred within the religious sphere in modern times, and their relationship to the political realm. The article contends that the selection, re-elaboration, and articulation of narratives from both Enlightenment and Catholic traditions made possible the formulation of radical projects inspired by a heterodox but nevertheless strong religious faith. Therefore, the background to Barcia’s anti-clerical proposals should not be understood as an irreligious one.
