National Religious Freedom Index
Point to a country for value, rank, structural coverage and confidence. Data-void regions are never scored as zero.
75+60–7445–5930–44<30Insufficient dataDisputed boundary or regionSpecial-status area
Grey hatching denotes insufficient data and is outside the score scale. The optional boundary/status overlay identifies catalogued international disputes and special-status areas using approximate contextual indicators. It is not a legal demarcation or a sovereignty judgment.
Topic methodology
Purpose
Measure freedom to hold, change, practise, teach or decline religion or belief, individually and collectively.
Components
- Constitutional and legal protection
- Government restrictions
- Social hostilities and violence
- Minority and non-believer equality
- Conversion, apostasy and blasphemy restrictions
- Institutional and worship autonomy
- Diversity-adjusted achievement
- Historical trajectory and recovery
Aggregation
Rights and restrictions form the core score. Diversity and historical context are reported as difficulty and trajectory modifiers, not excuses for present violations. Severe state persecution or widespread violence activates a documented cap.
Minimum coverage
Legal protection, government restrictions, social hostilities and minority equality are mandatory.
