Abstract

Religious freedom is a fundamental right that is crucial for creating a harmonious and tolerant society, where individuals from diverse religious backgrounds can coexist peacefully. However, this right is often threatened in diverse societies, and religious minorities may face discrimination, persecution, and even violence based on their beliefs. To promote religious freedom, governments and individuals must work together to respect the beliefs of others, create policies that protect religious minorities, and engage in education and dialogue. By upholding this fundamental right, we can create a society where all individuals, regardless of their religious background, can coexist peacefully and contribute to the common good.
