| | Freedom of religion - definition of Freedom of religion in Encyclopedia |
 | | Freedom of religion in India was encapsulated in an inscription of Asoka: | | | Freedom of religion is the individual's right or freedom to hold whatever religious beliefs he or she wishes, or none at all. | | | Conversely, freedom of religion was the normal rule in Antiquity, where a syncretic point-of-view identified strange deities as foreigners' acceptable conceptions of more familiar gods. |

| | Freedom of Religion or Belief |
| | The terms belief and religion are to be broadly construed. | | | When the right to freedom of religion or belief is mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is the right of individuals to act in accordance with conscientious beliefs, to worship (or not worship) freely, and to be able to enjoy life in society without discrimination on the basis of such beliefs. | | | Similarly, "[t]he freedom from coercion to have or to adopt a religion or belief and the liberty of parents and guardians to ensure religious and moral education cannot be restricted". |

| | Freedom of Religion |
| | The basic idea of freedom of religion is that no one, especially the government, is allowed to force religion on anyone else or prohibit anyone from practicing a religion. | | | Distorting the meaning of freedom of religion was the first tactic, ignoring its supporting principles was the second, and usurping the place of freedom with theism was the third. | | | One component of freedom of religion is freedom of conscience. |

| | FREEDOM OF RELIGION |
| | He distinguishes freedom of religion, freedom for religion, and freedom from religion. | | | This secularism, or freedom from religion, would have as its aim the elimination of any impact of religion on the institutional life of society, and especially on government. | | | In its extreme form, this opinion would identify freedom of religion with religion itself; in any form, it fails to consider that, in the concrete, a large “quantity” of religious freedom may be simply the product of irreligion or religious indifference, and, as such, an index of a society& religious poverty. |

| | Freedom of Religion |
| | Freedom of religion is a political principle that strives to forbid government constraint on people's choices of beliefs. | | | While religion and government must interact at some points while co-existing in society, the concern here is that they do not so overlap and intertwine that people have difficulty differentiating between the two. | | | Neither can pass laws that aid one religion, aid all religions, or prefer one religion over another. |

| | FREEDOM OF RELIGION |
| | The problem of freedom of religion could be approached either from an historical or from a theoretical standpoint; and from this latter, one could survey either the situations that existed in the past or those that prevail at the moment; and these latter situations could be studied either in themselves or in their historical roots. | | | There is a stand to be made against secularism, which makes freedom of religion mean freedom from religion, and which is particularly dangerous in its denial of the relevance of religion to social order and public life. | | | In condemning the first proposition we would be condemning the notion that freedom of religion means freedom from religion, the right to worship God or not to worship Him as individual fancy may dictate. |

| | Freedom of Religion in Israel |
| | The religion's involvement in the state's matters is expressed, for example, in the fact that kosher food is by law provided in IDF (Israeli Defense Forces), and in the government facilities, and special orders in the matters of religion were set in the IDF. | | | This recognition does not mean that other religions are prohibited or that a person must be a member of the established church, but that the state formally prefers a certain religion and gives it a priority over other religions. | | | The prevailing view in comparative international law is that the establishment of religion and its recognition by the state, or the separation of religion from the state do not, as such, violate religious freedom or constitute unlawful discrimination for religious reasons or religious intolerance. |

The answer illustrates the reason why lawyers and scholars often refer to this area as the most frustrating and perplexing area of Constitutional Law. |
