What is religious freedom?
As Christians, our concern is to see religious freedom protected, not just for Chistians, but for everyone. Australia is becoming more pluralised and secular in its beliefs. Freedom of religion must necessarily include people with very different beliefs. It provides the means by which people with diverse and deeply held beliefs are able to live together well.
Freedom of religion is vital to building a diverse and pluralist Australia. This religious freedom we enjoy stands in marked contrast to the experience of religious persecution of Christians in Syria, Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar or Yazidis in Iraq. Australia should be a place where there is true freedom for people to hold and live out their deepest convictions.
