Summary/Abstract: This study presents religious freedom from a legal perspective through the lens of some of the most important normative acts in the field, in order to highlight some dimensions of this freedom. The presentation of the aspects we felt important to mention, together with the cases to which we refer, highlights some of the problems that may arise in practice. Some of these problems could be solved very easily by a high degree of goodwill, respect for diversity and tolerance, without denying the need to hold accountable those who do not respect the religious freedom of others. Respecting this freedom is somewhat morally incumbent upon us on this continent with a tradition of respecting this freedom. We also mention the obligations of states to protect religious freedom. We have not forgotten to put into discussion the limitations that can be imposed on this freedom and the conditions under which such measures can be taken.
