Islam is the official religion in the republic, but Judaism and Armenian Christianity are tolerated. Other religions refused right of assembly.
This place is not a place of honor... no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here... nothing valued is here. What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us.
The danger is in a particular location... it increases towards a center... the center of danger is here... of a particular size and shape, and below us.
The danger is still present, in your time, as it was in ours. The danger is to the body, and it can kill. The form of the danger is an emanation of energy.
The danger is unleashed only if you substantially disturb this place physically. This place is best shunned and left uninhabited.

Is there guaranteed religious freedom in your nation? At first, people are free to practice whatever religion they please. The freedom is not guaranteed. Once the religion starts to physically harm people as in killing and torturing, people will turn against the vile religion and try to bring it to its end through the destruction of weapons and instructions to hurt.

If there isn't guaranteed religious freedom, is there partial religious freedom or none at all? Yes; see above.

If there is partial religious freedom in your nation, how is it codified? By public opinion. Once the majority turns against a religion, the revolution against it will start.

Is there guaranteed religious freedom in your nation?
Yes, despite the fact that the Eastern Orthodox Church is the official state religion, other religious groups are free to worship.
If there is, how is it guaranteed? Is delineated in your nation's constitution?
It is not worded explicitly, as the Byzantine Empire has no formal constitution, but the main duty of the Emperor is often quoted as "the protection of all Imperial subjects" without making reference to religious distinctions.
