Religious freedom and civility depend upon each other and form a mutual obligation founded on the inherent dignity of each person. Religious freedom is as much a duty as it is a right. Religion is not just private worship it involves public expression on social and moral issues. Neither religious nor secular voices should be silenced. All lawful voices should be heard in the public square. To exert its positive influence, religious organizations and people need physical, social and legal space to practice their religion.
