Summary: | Researchers in Italy and a cohort of legal scholars throughout the European Union have presented their findings about the treatment of religious and belief minorities (RBMs) throughout the EU in an online atlas. "The Atlas People," as they identify themselves, have partnered with three Italian foundations to create a detailed portrait of religion in twelve European Union countries. Their work is sponsored by four educational and religious organizations, including the Waldensian Church and the Seventh-day Adventist Church. This support seems appropriate, since the atlas documents the treatment of a dozen various religious groups—majority and non-majority—including Buddhism, Scientology, and Mormonism, along with Hinduism, Judaism, Islam, and Sikhism. Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant Christianity are also covered. The atlas includes a discussion of the Nones, noting the lack of legal protections nonbelievers have in the European Union but explaining why the atlas did not include them in their research. |
