** Religiously unaffiliated people face harassment in a growing number of countries ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
Restrictions on religion don’t just affect those who are religious; people who are religiously unaffiliated also are harassed ([link removed]) because of what they believe. And the number of countries where religiously unaffiliated people experienced harassment rose sharply in 2017, according to a recent Pew Research Center report ([link removed]) . The religiously unaffiliated (including atheists, agnostics and people who don’t identify with any religion) were harassed by governments, private groups or both in 23 countries in 2017, up from 14 the previous year.
