| Zusammenfassung: | European human rights legislation makes a distinction between “beliefs” and “manifestations” of beliefs. Beliefs are regarded as inviolable whereas manifestations, such as various religious practices, can be restricted by law. This article criticizes this distinction and argues that practices are necessary for religious beliefs. We participate in a religious practice, not since we believe, but we believe since we participate in a religious practice. European human rights legislation must be rewritten with this consideration in mind. |
