The Unfree Exercise of Religion

Více o knize

Exploring the complexities of religious discrimination, the book analyzes how various factors such as nationalism, regime types, and cultural contexts contribute to unequal treatment of religious minorities across 177 countries from 1990 to 2008. It challenges the notion that religious tradition solely dictates discrimination patterns, highlighting the coexistence of both tolerant and discriminatory states within Muslim and Christian majority nations. The study identifies 29 types of discrimination, with a focus on restrictions related to worship, proselytizing, and religious education.
