Freedom of Religion
Freedom of Religion: The inherent right of individuals to hold and practice their own religious beliefs, free from coercion, discrimination, or persecution. This freedom encompasses not only traditional religions but also spiritual practices and atheistic views, and extends to the individual's ability to change their beliefs, as well as to express and propagate them. It is a fundamental human right recognized by international law and protected by many national constitutions and legal frameworks. People who advocate for this freedom are known as humanitarians, working towards ensuring that everyone has the freedom to believe, or not believe, according to their own conscience. This category includes discussions on religious tolerance, the separation of church and state, and the challenges and successes in upholding this freedom around the world.
