the freedom of religion


The freedom of religion
The Constitution guarantees it
There is no reason to persecute anyone
Who may have a different faith?

Let the people choose their own religion
The government shouldn’t play the religious policeman
Every religion teaches one to be good in every day practises
Article 3(1) says it loud and clear

There are the other faiths allowed to practise
There will be no persecution of different faiths
Yet there is the persecution in the country
One religion wants to impose its own set of rules

The right to a religion belongs to the people
They have the right to choose which faith to embrace it
There shouldn’t be any force to twist them around
It will become a dishonourable act instead

Even Roman Catholics Church doesn’t impose its rules
Other Christian faiths have their rights to form their own
As long as they study the Holy Bible as the main book of reading
The Roman Catholics Church has no say to act on it

Even in Buddhism there are many groups too
They have their own practises but study the same source
Though I believe Buddha seeks his enlightenment
He doesn’t preach about Buddhism as a religion

There are many types of Islamic faith, the main 2 are Sunni and Shia
There are reasons Islam is broken into different groups
Yet the faithful study the same source in their rituals
And they pay homage together in Mecca
