Summary
Religious discrimination is one of a series of contested terms including religious freedom, religious tolerance or intolerance, religious repression, and religious human rights. There is no agreement in the literature on what these terms, and other related terms, mean. Accordingly, it is critical to define one’s terms when addressing any of these issues in order to achieve transparency on what is being discussed.
