11.4 Freedom of religion comes with the responsibility to respect others’ right to disagree, criticise and laugh at you.

With freedom of religion comes a responsibility to respect the rights of others to believe New Magna Carta Mediumwhatever they choose, to preach publicly, to choose whatever they wish to hold sacred, to have places of worship, to disagree with you, to criticise and challenge your beliefs and even to laugh at your beliefs and practices. Religious beliefs, like any other belief, must be subject to scrutiny, debate, criticism, humour and judgement. Individual beliefs and behaviours should be scrutinised and judged as appropriate or inappropriate and should never be protected by intimidation, tradition or false respect. However strongly you hold religious beliefs, you are subject to the law and subject to the rules and values of democracy. If you cannot accept that then you must live elsewhere.
