Freedom of religion

Sweden is a secular country. That means that the state and the church doesn't have anything to do with each other. However , religion still plays a ritual and cultural role. Also, nowadays Sweden is a country with a lot of religions as a result of immigration.

The status of religious freedom around the world varies from country to country but in Sweden religious freedom is in the law. Every individual have the right to practice theyr religious as they like as long as they don't hurt anyone doing so.

I think this is very important because nobody should be forced to practice a religion they don't believe in and everyone should be able to practice a reiligion they believe in. That is a basic human right. Because most of the time religion has a very big part of ones identity and whole being. If you take away a persons religion then you take away their life.

Even though we have freedom of religion in Sweden, many people try to do everything to remove it. For example a law made in the EU court, made it possible for companies to not hire a woman, even though she is very qualified, if she is wearing a religious symbol, that means hijab. They cover it up in bad excuses about a work place should be neutral but the truth is that the only people being affected by this law is muslim woman.
