Topic 12 | Religious discrimination

At times it is better to frame arguments for religious freedom around the concept of religious discrimination rather than making direct appeals to religious freedom. Efforts to protect individuals or other groups from discrimination can sometimes result in discriminatory treatment of religious individuals or groups. For audiences who are very sensitive about equality norms, it is important to highlight that unlawful discrimination includes discrimination on the basis of religion.
