Document Summary

Outline of freedom of religion difer from the freedom of religion in american. Section 2(a) of the charter guarantees everyone the fundamental freedom of freedom of conscience and religion. In comparison, american bill of rights is the first amendment, which on the topic of religion provides that congress should make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. The provision in respect to religion contains two clauses, an establishment clause and a free exercise clause. It makes no reference to freedom of conscience. Section 2(a)"s reference to conscience , which is not found in the amendment, protects systems of belief which are not centered on deity and which might not be characterized as religions for that reason. The free exercise clause, also much like the charter, protects religious practices as well as religious beliefs. In other words, everyone has the right to manifest one"s religion as long it does not injure others.
