This study examines the extent of religious discrimination by governments and societal actors against 159 religious minorities in 37 democratic countries, which are either or both members of the European Union or Western democracies between 1990 and 2014 using the Religion and State-Minorities Round 3 (RASM3) dataset. While religious freedom is a c...

The types of discrimination included in the variable are listed in Table 2 which also lists in what percentage of cases each type of societal action occurred, both in general and controlling for the minority religion using the following categories: Christian (for example, Protestants in a Catholic-majority country), Muslim, Jewish, and other. The "other" category includes multiple types of minorities including Buddhists (14), Hindus (10), Sikhs (3), Animists (2), Mormons (2), Bahai (1), Chinese religions (1), Jehovah's Witnesses (1), and Scientologists (1). ...

... Fox has identified nine different competing conceptions of religious freedom. Each conception (free exercise, religious persecution or repression, religious toleration, discrimination based on religion, neutrality/a level playing field, no minimum requirements for religious freedom, no separationism, no unclear laicism/secularism, religious discrimination) normatively defines how the state may react to religion in general and religious minorities more specifically (Fox 2017). Because there is no agreement concerning the precise meaning of the freedom of religion, and ' [d] etermining which standard is the correct one is a normative issue that is beyond the purview of this study' (Fox 2020, 26), the RAS refrains from it. ...

Major research initiatives like the Religion and Politics project (RAS) lead by Jonathan Fox and the Pew Research Institute’s series on Government Restrictions have, in recent years, produced major data sets measuring the state of religious regulation and restrictions globally. These data sets, however, challenge the image of the Nordic countries as frontrunners in regard to freedom of religion or belief. Some scholars have however suggested the existence of the socalled Nordic the Nordic Human Rights Paradox, i.e. that while promoting humans rights globally, the implementation of human rights at home is not very convincing. This paper presents the two data sets and analyses the specific codings for the Nordic countries. The argument presented is that while the data in some cases points to the existence of a Nordic Human Rights Paradox in relation to freedom of religion and belief, there are also discrepancies between the way freedom of religion and belief has been operationalized by the two projects and the realities of religious lives in the Nordic countries.
... This situation can result in actual acts of discrimination, as evidenced by the same document (European Commission, 2019): 17 percent of respondents said that they had felt discriminated against, especially in public spaces, in the workplace and in job interviews, in the past year, and that in 38 percent of cases the discrimination was on a religious basis. As if that were not enough, the feeling of increasing violations to the concept of religious freedom seems to be confirmed by Fox's (2017) study, which identifies an increasing trend of religious discrimination in Western democracies, between 1990 and 2014. ...

Samuel Huntington predicted that conflict, including domestic conflict, will be more common between civilizations than within them, that the Islamic civilization will be especially violent, and that Islamic-Western conflict will be particularly intense. This study seeks to test this proposition focusing on societal and governmental religious discrimination against 156 religious minorities in 36 European and Western Christian-majority democracies using data from the Religion and State-Minorities round 3 (RASM3) dataset. It also contrasts Huntington’s predictions with predictions of three other literatures: the securitization of Islam, anti-cult policies, and anti-Semitism. The findings show that these three literatures are a better fit for explaining religious discrimination in these countries than is Huntington’s “clash of civilizations” theory.
... The varied campaigns in Europe and in the United States against Muslim immigrants and against Islam as a Netanel Fisher 4 religionthe limitations on religious garb, on erecting mosques and minarets, on performing ritual slaughter, circumcision and burial customs; the discrimination in financing religious Muslim education alongside the lack of its identification as one of the recognized religions (in Germany) and the widespread anti-Sharia laws (in the United States); public expressions and public opinion polls opposing Muslim immigrantsraise doubts as to the absorbing countries' willingness to recognize these different religious immigrants as full members of the political collectivity (Casanova 2007). Interestingly, the increase in recent years of religious discrimination is aimed not only at Muslims but also at other religious minorities, especially Jews (Fox 2017). Obviously, religion is not the only factor causing animosity towards immigrants and religious minorities. ...

This article deals with the complex relationship between religion and immigration in Western countries, with an emphasis on Israel. The main argument it presents is that the legal procedures of immigration, i.e. laws relating to the acquisition of civil status, have undergone dramatic secularization, while religion's influence is expressed in the social and cultural aspects of the integration of immigrants belonging to religious minorities. This division reinforces the classical theory of secularization, as the formal boundaries of nations are not subject to religious affiliations, but it also supports the theories of competition and complementation between religion and secularism in the social sphere. The tension in the Israeli case between the immigration, naturalization and integration of non‐Jewish Jews, who are part of the extended Jewish population that is not defined by religious parameters, confirms this thesis. The immigration of hundreds of thousands of non‐Jewish Jews' under the Law of Return based on ethno‐national‐secular parameters is an ultimate expression of the secularization of Jewish nationality. On the other hand, the state's encouragement of non‐Jewish immigrants to convert to Judaism so that they can better assimilate into Jewish society signifies the importance of religion in the social integration aspect.

This study examines government religion policy in 26 Western democracies between 1990 and 2014 using the Religion and State round 3 (RAS3) dataset to determine whether these policies can be considered secular. While many assume that the West and its governments are secular and becoming more secular, the results contradict this assumption. All Western governments support religion in some manner, including financial support. All but Canada restrict the religious practices and/or religious institutions of religious minorities. All but Andorra and Italy restrict or regulate the majority religion. In addition religious both governmental and societal discrimination against religious minorities increased significantly between 1990 and 2014. All of this indicates religion remains a prominent factor in politics and society in the West.

Turkey’s numerous issues with its main minority groups, Kurds, Alevis, Christians, and Jews, continue to disrupt its domestic peace and complicate its foreign relations. In building a nation the founders of the Republic and successive governments have sought to compel minority assimilation with harsh measures such as expulsion, deprivation of property, resettlement, and discrimination, while ignoring anti-minority violence. As a result, most Christians and Jews have emigrated, though Alevis and Kurds more actively continue to demand recognition and equality. To address these issues Turkey might look to other members of the Council of Europe for examples the Republic could adopt to balance minority rights with national loyalty.

Because religious observance plays a role in society at large and in people’s everyday lives, forward-thinking organizations need to embrace religious inclusion within their hiring practices. This chapter begins with a real-life story of a South African chef whose employer failed to grant an accommodation to undertake a traditional religious/healer training. The case highlights challenges in navigating diverse religious practices in the workplace, managing accommodation requests, and fostering a sense of belonging among employees. The chapter explores the complex intersections of religion and ethnicity/race, as well as legal frameworks shaping religious freedom, diversity, and inclusion around the world.KeywordsReligious expressionReligious discriminationDiversity managementWorkplace spiritualitySouth Africa

Over the last two decades alone, the United States has suffered well over ten thousand religion-motivated hate crimes. While racism and religion-motivated prejudice have received considerable attention following the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville that resulted in deadly violence, there is little systematic scholarship evaluating where and when incidents targeting ethnoreligious minorities by non-state actors are likely to occur. Utilizing the FBI’s reported anti-Semitic hate crime data from 2001–2014, my main theoretical and empirical exercise is to determine which factors best explain where and when American ethnoreligious groups are likely to be targeted. I propose that there are four essential mechanisms necessary to explain variation in minority targeting: “opportunity” (target group concentration), “distinguishability” (target group visibility), “stimuli” (events increasing target group salience) and “organization” (hate group quantity). My models show that variables falling within each of these theoretical concepts significantly explain variation in anti-Semitic incidents in the United States. Of particular importance for scholars and practitioners alike, Israeli military operations and the number of active hate groups within a state play a major role in explaining anti-Semitic incident variation.
