The article from MSN, citing a report by the Family Research Council, discusses the global persecution of religion, highlighting that Afghanistan, North Korea, and Somalia are among the countries where religion faces the highest levels of government and social persecution. The report ranks countries based on various forms of persecution, including government restrictions on religious practices, societal hostility towards religious groups, and the legal environment for religious freedom. Notably, Afghanistan has seen a drastic increase in persecution since the Taliban regained control, with severe restrictions on religious minorities and women. North Korea continues its policy of state-enforced atheism, while in Somalia, the ongoing conflict exacerbates religious tensions. The report also notes that in many of these countries, persecution is not only from government policies but also from societal pressures, making religious practice dangerous and often clandestine.
