		The version of the law "On freedom of religious worship" is actually a new law, allowing the possibility of restricting religious rights, especially during the registration process, and particularly the introduction of a division of religious organizations into local and foreign (the latter are denied legal status), and new grounds for dissolution.
		Concerning non-traditional religious organizations, the present situation already manifests violations of current legislation by current administrations, the restriction of activities; the proposed bill is discriminatory and contradicts the Constitution and legislation.
		The new items are: compulsory family breakup, inciting suicide or the refusal of medical treatment because of religious motives, and the inflicting of moral damage or physical harm to citizens (as evaluated according to law), including the use of drugs, hypnosis, and engaging in lascivious or criminal acts in connection with religious activities.

	Freedom of religion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Freedom of religion as a legal concept is related to but not identical with religious toleration, separation of church and state, or laïcité (a secular state).
		Freedom of worship in India was encapsulated in an inscription of Asoka:
		It was not until the converted protestant prince Henry IV of France came to the throne that religious tolerance was formalized in the Edict of Nantes in 1598.

	Christian Bible Study - Religious Freedom and Interfaith Cooperation (Site not responding. Last check: )
		For Americans, religious freedom is symbolized by the phrase "separation of church and state." This phrase is not part of the constitution of the United States, and thus is not strictly a legal principle.
		In the United States religious freedom is defined by the First Amendment of the constitution, which proscribes "the establishment of religion" by the federal government and ensures "the free exercise of religion" for all the citizens of the republic.
		Those who emphasize religious freedom are concerned with protecting their absolute right of conscience, whereas those who promote interfaith cooperation are attempting to foster a relative understanding of religion and also appreciation of the different beliefs and practices of religious traditions.

	DECLARATION ON RELIGIOUS FREEDOM
		Religious communities also have the right not to be hindered in their public teaching and witness to their faith, whether by the spoken or by the written word.
		Religious freedom therefore ought to have this further purpose and aim, namely, that men may come to act with greater responsibility in fulfilling their duties in community life.
		In turn, where the principle of religious freedom is not only proclaimed in words or simply incorporated in law but also given sincere and practical application, there the Church succeeds in achieving a stable situation of right as well as of fact and the independence which is necessary for the fulfillment of her divine mission.

	firstamendmentcenter.org: Religious Liberty - Overview
		This pattern of granting freedom to all private religions while patronizing a common Christian religion worked well enough for the religiously homogeneous times and towns of the early republic — particularly when the frontier provided a place for religious minorities to escape and start their lives anew.
		Regulation of other religious exercises by individuals or groups was permissible as long as it was done by general and non-discriminatory legislation that served an important or significant government interest.
		Religious groups could be subject only to general and non-discretionary time, place and manner regulations of the public square that applied equally to all religious or non-religious groups.

	Religious freedom under our constitution and social reform
		Finally, the freedom of religion guaranteed by our Constitution is p[art of a scheme which embodies valuable human rights, broadly called civil liberties, conferred by Articles 14, 17, 19 to 22, 23, 25 to 28 (religious freedom), 29-30, free and fair elections and an independent Supreme Court and High Court judiciary.
		Further, the freedom of a denomination to manage religious affairs did not include the right to manage religious affairs did not include the right to mismanage them, as for example, by excessive expenditure on rituals and ceremonies which would result in the destruction of the religious foundation itself.
		Secondly a follower cannot be excommunicated for denouncing the licentious conduct of the head of a religious denomination vis-à-vis his followers, for religious freedom is subject to "morality".

		Rather, we are concerned not with all forms of persecution of religious people but with persecution where the focus or the grounds are themselves religious-where a person's religion is a component of the persecution or discrimination they suffer.
		We could demarcate religious persecution by asking whether some or all of the oppression and discrimination that people suffer would occur if they or their oppressors were of a different religion.
		One of the principal reasons religious freedom and religious persecution have been neglected is that religion itself has been comparatively neglected as a factor in human affairs.

		City ordinance prohibiting the handling of poisonous reptiles in such manner as to endanger the public health, safety, and welfare is not void on ground that it impinges on the freedom of religious worship which involves the handling of poisonous reptiles, since the public safety is superior to religious practice.
		The defendants concede that their conduct falls within the condemnation of the ordinance, but they plead not guilty on the ground that the ordinance impinges on their freedom of religious worship and is therefore void.
		No detailed analysis of the ordinance is required since the defendants concede that unless it impinge on their freedom of religious worship, they are in defiance of its terms.

		Religious freedom and tolerance are intimately bound up with the rights to free thought and free speech, and to free association and peaceful assembly.
		As Michael Smith noted at the March Eckerd meeting, the notion of freedom to worship has become so besieged that it is sometimes difficult to remember why religious pluralism became the established norm in the first place.
		At the same time that globalization has led to religious diversity beyond anything FDR or his contemporaries envisioned, it has also spawned a new wave of religious extremism in reaction to the spread of modernization and secular values.

		The federal Constitution also provides for the freedom to exercise religious worship in accordance with established customs, provided that it does not conflict with public policy or violate public morals, and the Government generally respects this right in practice.
		Although immigration authorities routinely ask foreigners to declare their religious affiliation, the Government does not collect or analyze this information, and religious affiliation is not a factor in the issuance or renewal of visas or residence permits.
		There were no reports of forced religious conversion, including of minor U.S. citizens who had been abducted or illegally removed from the United States, or of the Government's refusal to allow such citizens to be returned to the United States.

	Church of Scientology - The Foundation for Religious Freedom
		Groups were soon formed so that individuals could assist each other in the application of the techniques described in Dianetics, called "auditing." Hubbard lectured extensively, continued his research, and wrote numerous volumes covering his discoveries.
		His research soon led him into a spiritual realm, and in 1952 the "applied religious philosophy" of Scientology was born.
		Scientologists refer to the presence of a Supreme Being as representing infinity, but do not worship any deity as such, instead spending their time on the application of Scientology principles to daily activities.

	Austria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1781 Emperor Joseph II issued a Patent of Tolerance that allowed other Christian confessions a limited freedom of worship.
		After 1918 First Republic Catholic leaders such as Theodor Innitzer and Ignaz Seipel took leading positions within or close to the Austrian Government and increased their influence during the time of the Austrofascism—Catholicism was treated much like a state religion by dictators Engelbert Dollfuss and Kurt Schuschnigg.
		Although Catholic leaders welcomed the Germans in 1938 during the Anschluss of Austria into Germany, Austrian Catholicism stopped its support of Nazism later on and many former religious public figures became involved with the resistance during the Third Reich.
