Overview
Religious Freedom is a fundamental human right that protects the ability of individuals to practice, express, or not express their religion or belief without coercion, persecution, or discrimination. It encompasses freedom of thought, conscience, and religion, including the right to change one's religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest one's religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship, and observance. This right is a cornerstone of democratic societies and is often enshrined in national constitutions and international human rights law.
