Religion: Why religious freedom matters

Earlier this year in Indonesia, a civil servant was attacked by a mob at his government office then handed over to the police after posting “God doesn’t exist” to Facebook. He is currently facing a five-year jail term for blasphemy. While the country accords constitutional recognition to six official religions, atheism remains effectively illegal. Meanwhile in Iran, six Baha’i educators serving four- to five-year prison terms recently lost their appeal. They were convicted for providing higher education to Baha’i youth, a right denied by the state on the basis of their religious belief. Two other educators at the Baha’i Institute for Higher Education were charged with promoting prostitution and teaching with illegal credentials despite holding graduate degrees from the University of Ottawa.
