Preferred term

religious persecution  

Definition(s)

  • Religious persecution can be broadly defined as an action that either obstructs or inhibits religious practice or that seeks to impose particular religious or antireligious norms. Students of religious persecution disagree about what constitutes persecution; some scholars consider any adversity caused due to religious belief to be persecution, while others have suggested more stringent criteria of bodily harm, displacement, or death.
