The right not to reveal your (non) religion

On 3 June 2010, a unanimous Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights found that "requiring the applicants to reveal their religious convictions in order to be allowed to make a solemn declaration had interfered with their freedom of religion, and that the interference was neither justified nor proportionate to the aim pursued." See this press release on Dimitras et autres c. Grèce for details.
