		The Russian religious, Orthodox thought was exceptionally freedom-loving, it nurtured the idea of the free spirit, the freedom of conscience and was preparing a creative spiritual reform, a spiritual renaissance which was wrecked by the forces of the long growing atheistic revolution and its inseparable forces of deadening reaction which quenches the spirit.

		The rejection of the freedom of conscience as the supreme origin and the primary principle of religious life is the rejection of the world's purpose, is a slavish opposition to God, is a temptation and a derangement.

	Pope John Paul II 1 September 1980 Madrid Conference on European Security
		—freedom not to be subjected, on religious grounds, to forms of restriction and discrimination, vis-a-vis one's fellow citizens, in all aspects of life (in all matters concerning one's career, including study, employment or profession; one's participation in civic and social responsibilities, etc.).
		As was said earlier, freedom of conscience and of religion, including the aforementioned elements, is a primary and inalienable right of the human person; what is more, insofar as it touches the innermost sphere of the spirit, one can even say that it upholds the justification, deeply rooted in each individual, of all other liberties.
		Of course, such freedom can only be exercised in a responsible way, that is, in accordance with ethical principles and by respecting equality and justice, which in turn can be strengthened, as mentioned before, through dialogue with those institutions whose nature is to serve religion.

		Much like his notion of freedom of conscience, this is again merely the co-opting of a Western term which is then defined according to Qutb's brand of Islam.
		Qutb goes on for about ten pages about things that ordinarily would limit the absolute freedom of conscience, but that are mitigated in Islam.
		It is the explanation which is typical of those professional men of religion of despotic ages who use it to quiet the public conscience and to divert it from the quest for social justice.

	:: Novopress.info North America » Blog Archive » Freedom of Conscience and Religion?
		The first two freedoms guaranteed under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms are “freedom of conscience and religion” and “freedom of thought, belief, opinion, and expression.” But much has changed in Canadian society since the Charter was written twenty years ago.
		Today freedom of religion and freedom of opinion and expression are routinely under attack, challenged, and frequently trumped by any number of competing rights in this country.
		And then I’d require them to write a 3000 word essay explaining why “freedom of conscience and religion” and “freedom of thought, belief, opinion, and expression” are the first freedoms guaranteed all Canadians under the Charter and why these freedoms must be protected in Canada.

		This loyalty oath violates the fundamental democratic right of freedom of conscience -- the right of every individual to hold and advocate political views based solely on the dictates of one's own conscience.
		Furthermore, this loyalty oath directly contradicts another cornerstone of democracy -- the principle that the people alone are the sovereign power and the people always have the right to change the system of government.
