Perhaps the debate of ‘Right to Religious Freedom’ places
the left-liberal intelligentsia in a very comfortable position, the non-rigid
conservative supporters in a difficult position and the rookie liberals
juxtaposed with their own thoughts. Often we see the topic of ‘Religious
Freedom’ termed as a complex issue, it is a simple issue when looked with the
lens of anarchy and it would be a mistake to surmise it as a non-state issue.
Some basic definitions of terms which will be helpful to
comprehend my perception when you scroll down this page:
