The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the governance model for religious freedom in Spain, distinguishing between the attribution of competence over this matter within the structure of the government on the one hand, and on the other, the role of the administrative bodies exercising the functions attributed to that competence. Three specific instruments with special relevance in the public management of religious freedom are also analyzed: the Registry of Religious Entities, the Advisory Commission on Religious Freedom and the Pluralism and Coexistence Foundation. Finally, the current challenges and the direction in which said governance should be directed are outlined.
