'''Religious freedom''' is the right to espouse the religion of one's choice, or none. Religious freedom is guaranteed in the constitution of the [[United States]] and is a commonplace in democratic countries. However, in many states and countries secular and atheistic policies, particularly in the field of education, form in effect a restriction on religious liberties. Examples include the ban on [[classroom prayer]] in the [[United States]], and opposition to the teaching of any alternatives to the discredited [[Theory of Evolution]] in many western nations.

The U.S. Commission for International Religious Freedom reported in May 2017 that religious freedom around the world was "worsening in both the depth and breadth of violations."<ref>Williams, Thomas D., PhD (May 16, 2017).

Religious freedom is seen as a grave danger by [[Communist]] regimes—very few religious freedoms are given in [[China]], and under Communist rule religion was banned outright in [[Albania]]—and by strict [[Islamic]] regimes such as those in [[Iran]] and (particularly) [[Saudi Arabia]].
