politique

Politique is an archaic term used in late 1500s and early 1600s to describe either a head of state who puts politics before their religion, or individuals who sought political accommodation between Protestants and Catholics in the interest of peace. Due to their political philosophies, "politiques" can be viewed as early examples of the belief in separation of church and state.
