How will these resources help you?

Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that: ‘everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion’ and should be allowed to practise their religion publicly or privately. In the UK, it is legal to express a belief as long as it does not incite violence or express hatred for other groups. These resources offer case studies and religious teachings that are useful for exploring the conflict that can occur when the expression of a religious belief is deemed harmful or damaging to the society in which the believers live. These discussions will encourage students to consider where the line for ‘freedom of speech’ should be drawn.
