Freedom of thought ziņojumā LV (Freedom of Thought 2014: A Global Report on the Rights, Legal Status, and Discrimination Against Humanists, Atheists, and the Non-religious) ir atzīmēta dzeltenā krāsā, tas nozīmē, ka ir fiksēti sistēmiski ierobežojumi, kas lielākoties saistīti ar 8 konfesijām, kurām valsts dod privilēģijas un tiesības.
Runa, ja neskaita izvēles priekšmetu reliģijas mācību, ir arī par Garīgo lietu padomi, kas konsultē ministru prezidentu par garīgajām lietām. (jo garīgums nāk tikai no organizētās reliģijas, viss pārējais ir sūds).
Tas nav nekas jauns un pārsteidzošs, vairāk interesants ir apkopojums, cik izmaksā būt ateistam citās valstīs. Jo biežāk runājam par, kā tiek vajāti kristieši un musulmaņi, bet ne ateisti:
"In some countries, it is illegal to be, or to identify as an atheist. Many other countries, while not outlawing people of different religions, or no religion, forbid leaving the state religion. And in these countries the punishment for apostasy—leaving the faith—is often death. In fact, 19 countries punish their citizens for apostasy, and in 12 of those countries it is punishable by death. Pakistan doesn't have a death sentence for apostasy but it does for blasphemy, and the threshold for 'blasphemy' can very low; so in effect you can be put to death for expressing atheism in 13 countries.
More common than crimes relating to simply being an atheist, are the criminal measures against expressing atheist views. Many countries have blasphemy laws that outlaw criticism of protected religions or religious figures and institutions. For example, Pakistan has prosecuted more than a thousand people for blasphemy since introducing its current anti-blasphemy laws in 1988. Dozens of those found guilty remain on death row, and there are repeated calls from Islamist leaders to lift the effective moratorium, enforce the death penalty, and make death the only sentence for “blasphemy” convictions.
In fact discrimination against the non-religious is often caused by the desire, not to hurt atheists, but to help one or more religion. The promotion by the state of religious privilege is one of the most common forms of discrimination against atheists. Freedom of religion or belief, requires equal and just treatment of all people irrespective of their beliefs."
