Freedom of Religion and Conscience - the Foundation of National Unity
The religious freedom as an important part of human freedom is a fundamental dimension of a democratic society. Freedom of conscience is a fundamental right to human fulfillment in democracy, but it also remains a gift of God and a call to man’s perfection. Religious and conscious freedom has a fundamental role in crystallizing the unity of a people’s nation into a world with strong accents in the sphere of globalist ideology and attempts of axiological leveling in our day.
