Topic 13 | Conviction is not discrimination

Adhering to one’s religious convictions usually does not involve unlawful discrimination against others. One of the most frequent criticisms of religious freedom is that it is a claim for the right to discriminate against others. This is usually a distortion of religious belief and practice and often rests on a misguided oversimplification about what constitutes unlawful discrimination.
