SWI swissinfo.ch's account of Switzerland's Article 72, which leaves the relationship between church and state to each of the twenty six cantons rather than to the federal constitution, so that most cantons maintain an established Landeskirche under public law while Geneva and Neuchatel separate church and state entirely.
