WASHINGTON (RNS) Secretary of State John Kerry on Wednesday (Oct. 14) released his department’s International Religious Freedom Report for 2014, and called terror groups theworld’s greatest threat to religious freedom.
The report, considered the most comprehensive accounting of religious freedom violations worldwide, studied nearly 200 countries and territories. But it is nonstate actors, Kerry said at a State Department press conference, that are today “the principal persecutors and preventers of religious tolerance and practice.”
