Religious freedom is tied to the freedom to communicate. This blog examines the religious rights of people who want to worship aloud-- whether it be through religious speech or practices-- and whether or not they're actually allowed to do so within certain countries.
I think we like to say that we have the most religious freedom, and for the most part we do. But as I continue to research for this blog, I'm seeing that there are more cases of religious repression/ridicule in the U.S. than I would have guessed before digging deeper.
I feel like in the US, the government allows us to have a lot of religious freedom (which makes sense because it is incorporated into our Constitution) but unfortunately as individuals we seem to infringe on other people's rights to practice their religion of choice. We don't seem to be too open or educated about religions other than our own and ignorance seems to get in the way.
