Is freedom of conscience under threat? Or does the state have the right to adjudicate on what it is acceptable to think and say?

On Wednesday, 16 November 2016, at Conway Hall in London, spiked is holding a half-day conference on religious freedom in partnership with the Alliance Defending Freedom. To get your tickets, email [email protected]
