THE ESTABLISHMENT AND REGISTRATION OF A RELIGIOUS DENOMINATION AS MANIFESTATION OF RELIGIOUS FREEDOM
Journal Title: Studia z Prawa Wyznaniowego - Year 2015, Vol 18, Issue 18
Abstract
In this publication the author makes the following arguments. As the registration of a religious association in Polish law is a form of its legalisation by becoming a legal entity, that process broadens the influence of a religious association in the religious sphere, thereby broadening religious freedom. The registration of a religious association made on the basis of an application for registration filled by “supporters” of a religious community (it happens more than often in Polish registration offices) is not a manifestation of religious freedom. Registration of a religious association must be undertaken at the request of the religious organization itself or at the request of members of this community. Only such a procedure could be a sign of guarantee of religious freedom.
