It varies according to countries. There isn't a great degree of religious freedom in countries like China because they are greatly inspired by anti-religious political beliefs. There are countries where there isn't a great degree of religious freedom for people of religions other than state religions (Saudia, Iran etc. etc.). There may be a few countries that have religious freedom for all as a concept even if one religion that is in majority seems to dominate certain laws.

I know that.

The point is 'should' religious freedom means the right to exercise a total choice of religion from none to whatever you choose?

To me, it obviously should butt in some places that claim freedom of religion, it doesn't seem to.

What you are trying to suggest is that Christianity influences certain western countries in more significant ways than do all other religions even if most of these western countries claim to give religious freedom as in concept. What I believe is that Christian influence has significantly loosened its grip and will continue to wane.

What you are further trying to suggest is that there are certain hypocrites among Christians who demand religious freedom as in concept and yet are fine with Christianity influencing the laws or society in certain ways. Such people are simply hypocrites and are either under spell of religion because they are weak minded or are deliberately wicked. There are right wing Hindus in India who would be pretty close to Christians of America.

What I am trying to suggest is that there are idiots even among non-religious people as evident in countries like China. They enjoy suppressing religious freedom of people.
