| | | | | Religious: Encyclopedia II - Status of religious freedom in Sudan - Religious demography As of 2002, Sudan has a total area of 1,556,108 square miles (4,030,301 km²), and its population is an estimated 35 million. The country is religiously mixed, although Muslims have dominated national government institutions since independence. There are no accurate figures on the sizes of the country's religious populations because of poor census data, as a result of 2 decades of war.
According to most estimates, between 65 and 75 percent of the population is Muslim, and adherents include numerous Arabic and non-Arabic groups. M ...

| | | | | | | Religious: Encyclopedia II - Status of religious freedom in Sudan - Status of religious freedom The Constitution provides for freedom of religion; however, the Government severely restricted this right in practice. The Government treats Islam as the state religion and has declared that it must inspire the country's laws, institutions, and policies. The Constitution states that "Sharia (Islamic law) and custom are the sources of legislation."
Religious organizations and churches are subject to the same restrictions placed on nonreligious corporations. Religious groups, like all other organizations, must be registered in order to ...

The Constitution declares that the "official religion of Iran is Islam and the doctrine followed is that of Ja'fari (Twelver) Shi'ism."

Religious music - Christian music.
There is virtually no record of the earliest music of the Christian church except a few New Testament fragments of what are probably hymns. Some of these fragments are still sung as hymns today in the Orthodox Church, including "Awake, awake O sleeper" on the occasion of someone's baptism. Being Jewish, Jesus and his disciples would most likely have sung the psalms from memory. However, the repertoire of ordinary people was larger than it is today, so they probably knew other songs too. Early Christians continued to sing the psalms much as they were ...

The anti-cult movement sometimes uses the term thought reform or even brainwashing, though the latter term has now become discredited. Often they will call certain NRM's cults. However, the definition of a cult has become so broad in many instances it is almost meaningless and is used to define anything outside Orthodoxy. NRMs are very diverse and it is not clear whether conversion to NRMs differs from conversi ...

Popular Defense Forces (PDF) trainees, including non-Muslims, were indoctrinated in the Islamic faith. In prisons and juvenile detention facilities, government officials and government-supported Islamic nongovernmental organizations (NGO's) pressured and offered inducements to non-Muslim inmates to convert.

Status of religious freedom in Iran - Baha'is.
According to the National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá'ís of the United States, since 1979 more than 200 Bahá'ís have been killed and 15 have disappeared and are presumed dead. The Government continued to imprison and detain Bahá'ís based on their religious beliefs.

In May 2001, the government decided not to approve the Falun Gong Preparatory Committee’s application to register as a legal organization. This action is believed to be more related to the governments wish to improve relations with China rather then an attempt to undermine the Falun Gong in favour of Islam. It should be noted that the govern ...
