Summary/Abstract: Freedom of conscience is explicitly connected with the right of every human being to choose how they form their own worldview and how they develop their moral standards. In order to ensure this same right the state policy should give all pupils a broad spectrum of possibilities for personal development, including the possibility to study their own religion and to gain or deepen their knowledge about the history and nature of all world religions. Religious state education should not impose models of behavior, but rather it should reveal the meaning of religion for the human culture and spirit.
