Definition

Religious segregation refers to the separation or division of individuals or groups based on their religious beliefs or practices. This can manifest in different forms, such as restrictions on where certain religious groups can live, work, or worship, or limitations on their participation in social activities or public services.

Religious segregation can lead to discrimination, stereotypes, and social tensions between different religious communities. It can also contribute to the marginalization and exclusion of certain groups from mainstream society.

Efforts to combat religious segregation include promoting interfaith dialogue, education about different religions, and advocating for laws and policies that protect the rights and freedoms of all individuals regardless of their religious affiliation.
