Religious discrimination is the norm in many countries around the
world, and the rate is rising. Nearly every country which
discriminates does so unequally, singling out some religious
minorities for more discrimination than others. Religious tradition
does not explain this complex issue. For example, Muslim majority
states include both the most discriminatory and tolerant states in
the world, as is also the case with Christian majority states.
Religious ideologies, nationalism, regime, culture, security
issues, and political issues are also all part of the answer. In
The Unfree Exercise of Religion Jonathan Fox examines how we
understand concepts like religious discrimination and religious
freedom, and why countries discriminate. He makes a study of
religious discrimination against 597 religious minorities in 177
countries between 1990 and 2008. While 29 types of discrimination
are discussed in this book, the most common include restrictions in
places of worship, proselytizing, and religious education.
