religious equality
Same rights, all faiths
Religious equality is the principle that people of all faiths—or none—should have the same legal rights and social standing.
It encompasses freedom to practice one's religion, freedom from state-imposed religion, and equal treatment regardless of belief: The constitution guarantees religious equality.
The concept often appears in debates about discrimination, public accommodation, and separation of church and state.
