But what if the freedom of religion doesn't prevent the dangerous kind of religion? You see, not all Nations' Constitutions are secular -especially Iran's Constitution.
Thats why freedom of religion is important - to set limits to what people can do. Of course, it has to be alongside other laws, such as do not kill, and other people's freedom of religion. But if there is a state religion, one that puts religious justice above secular justice, thats when you get problems. Those who commit religious crimes such as adultery or homosexuality can be executed, and those who commit religiously motivated crimes can be pardoned and allowed to do it again. Certain types of people are described as 'unconstitutional' or blasphemous, just for believing what they do or acting in a certain way, and that sort of society engenders hate and mistrust for outsiders, and people who become outsider because they don't agree with the situation.
