Publisher's Synopsis
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Believed my most to be an inalienable and fundamental right that is separate from government theology, the freedom of religion is the right by an individual or community to practice a religion or belief via worship. History shows religious persecution, intolerance, and the continual struggle for freedom of religion throughout the world. While many countries practice broad freedom of religion, including the right to not follow any religion, there are governments that continue to persecute and deny religious differences.
This book discusses religious discrimination, persecution and cleansing, plus the violence that follows. Also included are the status of religious freedoms in countries around the world.
