Which is the correct meaning of the Right to Freedom of Religion?

Correct answer: Freedom to profess, propagate and practise one's religion

Direct answer: D, the freedom to profess, propagate and practise one’s religion. In simple terms, a person may declare or hold religious beliefs, share those beliefs peacefully, and follow religious practices, subject to public order, morality, health and other constitutional provisions. India’s constitutional idea of religious freedom is not a privilege for only the majority; it protects equal religious liberty. A is wrong because the right is not restricted to the majority religion. B is wrong because a right to religious freedom does not mean a general power to ban another religion. C is wrong because refusing employment merely on a religious basis can amount to discrimination and is not a meaning of religious freedom. D is correct because it states the three familiar ideas: profess, propagate and practise. These freedoms do not permit violence, coercion or unlawful acts. Memory cue: religion rights protect belief, peaceful expression and practice—not domination over other people.
