Summary/Abstract: By its rulings and decisions, taken according to the provisions of „the European Convention of the Human Rights”, „the European Court of Human Rights” created a real jurisprudence in the field of human rights, among which the leading place was also the right to religion. In order to understand, and at the same time to exemplify the way in which the magistrates of the European Court perceived and pronounced themselves regarding the right to Religion, I examined and assessed some of rulings and decisions, which I referred to the text of the articles from the European Convention on Human Rights (cf. Art. 9 and 14). Since by the rulings and the decisions of the European Court - in various cases regarding the right to religion - have been created several legal principles, and therefore a jurisprudence in this field, it is therefore necessary for the lawmakers and the magistrates of the E.U. States to know them and apply them whenever they have to do with “jus-dicere”.
