Human rights verses the security of living will always be a controversial matter; for example, analyzing what rights – if any – people should be prepared to relinquish in return for the security of living. Though saying that everyone is not entirely free to practice their religions seems to infringe on the freedom of individuals, it is a statement that must be true when taking into account the safety and security of living in a democracy or any sort of social environment. Some religions have traditions that violate the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, for example: women’s rights. A particular religion may believe it appropriate that women aren’t treated equally, and are beaten by a man. Also, in some religions the penalty for violating their ways is death. Obviously there are many places where religion is not completely compatible with a secure and modern society. Therefore to insure the safety of the greatest number of people, there are times when religions must be willing to give up some of their rights – especially when we live in a society of such cultural and religious diversity where conflicts are bound to arise.
