Summary/Abstract: For the contemporary society religious freedom represents an actual challenge. Questions such as: What it is? What are the limits of religious freedom? How shall it properly be understood and what does it represent? Are nothing more but the recognition of this phenomenon. The Orthodox Church is mainly built based on this freedom of human kind, and it represents the main pillar of the two centuries Orthodox Church existence. And this is also why it is entitled to answer to this issue regarding whether religious freedom is a human right that must be respected or not.
