I live in Canada, where the freedom of religion is also listed at the top of the charter of rights and freedoms. But religion is not immutable. That is why there is freedom of belief, because there are so many different variants. Which one is correct? Since there is no way to determine which is correct, it would be best IMO to assume they are all wrong, untruthful, and mutable. So while I accept that people may hold a variety of erroneous beliefs, not just in religion but even science, I think people who strongly believe that their particular religion is correct should be refused entry. It doesn't benefit this country to allow entry to those who are not open to questioning their own beliefs, and especially those who wish to impose them on others under the threat of death.

        And how do you test for that? - Mary Anne - 4/20/2006 11:39:52 PM
        
        Simple. Screen immigrants at the Canadian embassy in their country of origin, before they even get here. - SDF - 4/21/2006 12:11:59 AM
        
        Immigration regulation by dress code! Ha! - Mary Anne - 4/21/2006 1:45:59 PM
        
        I still think it's a good idea to screen on the basis of conspicuous religious attire. - SDF - 4/21/2006 4:27:02 PM
        
        You will screen the honest for being honest. Congratulations! - Mary Anne - 4/21/2006 4:50:00 PM
