Not at all, that's not what freedom of religion is.
I can practice a Mayan or Inca religion by myself - that's freedom of religion - but I cannot allow it to affect other people's life e.g. by organizing human sacrifices.
- tssva 6y agoHow is an individual refusing to provide a service which is readily available from others significantly impacting other people's life? Also not being able to practice ritual sacrifice if it is part of your faith is a violation of your religious freedom. We as society have made the decision that the right to life is a greater right than your right to freely practice your religion but it is still a violation of your right. It is just another example of how in a functioning society decisions have to be constantly be made regarding whose rights are greater than someone else's under what circumstances.

That's a strawman. > Also not being able to practice ritual sacrifice if it is part of your faith is a violation of your religious freedom. No, it's not. The ritual is not illegal in its religious aspect. Harming the other person is illegal. By the same logic I could claim that running someone over is freedom of movement. It's not.
