A papal charity says that at least two-thirds of the world's population live in countries where religious freedom is not upheld, and the most persecuted religious group are Christians, the Crux website reports today (April 20, 2021).
The 2021 Religious Freedom Report by Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) found that around 5.2 billion people live in countries where there are grave violations in religious freedom, including three of the world's most populous nations: China, India, and Pakistan.
Religious minorities tend to be the most targeted, and in recent years, the faith-based persecution by authoritarian governments has intensified.
