Summary/Abstract: The author analyzes religious freedom as a minority right in the context of the case law of the European Court of Human Rights and examines how rigid secular logic can influence the interpretation of this freedom. The author notes that although religious freedom is defined as a universal right of every individual, in practice it mostly manifests in conflicts where members of religious minorities assert it against the state or the majority society. The author argues that in contemporary Europe, rigid secularism may, in some cases, lead to the marginalization of the religious perspective and the emptying of the concept of state neutrality in matters of religion.
