Broadly speaking, religious intolerance is behaviour that is unaccepting of any religious beliefs. It includes public declarations that some other religion is false and not acceptable, any action to restrict or limit the free worship of any religion, through to actual persecution of that religion or its adherents.

What the opposite of religious freedom?

The opposite of religious freedom is religious oppression, where individuals are denied the right to practice their faith or are forced to adhere to a specific religion.

Such an environment stifles diversity, promotes intolerance, and can lead to persecution or discrimination against certain religious groups.


What was the religious intolerance in the glorious revolution?

The Glorious Revolution of 1688 in England was marked by significant religious intolerance, particularly against Catholics and dissenting Protestant sects. The overthrow of King James II, who was Catholic, was driven in part by fears of a Catholic monarchy and the potential re-establishment of Catholicism as the state religion. The subsequent Bill of Rights in 1689 reinforced Protestant dominance by excluding Catholics from the throne and promoting the Anglican Church, further entrenching anti-Catholic sentiment in English society. This period exemplified how religious differences were intertwined with political power struggles, leading to lasting divisions.
