“Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion…” according to Article 18 of the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights.  But people, especially Christians, are denied this right in numerous countries of the world. Christians pay a very high price for their faith, even to the point of imprisonment, torture and death.
