Persecution of faith is any action taken to prevent or deter others from holding whatever religious beliefs they choose and worshipping as they please, subject only to the public good. It includes punishments meted out for religious beliefs or worship, official sanctions, damage to temples, mosques or churches, or theft of religious property. In some circumstances it can even include officially refusing to register a religion or grant it the right to hold services or perform public sacrifices. It is the same whether, for example, Christians were persecuted by pagans or Christians persecuted pagans.
