Government restrictions on religion and social hostilities involving religion increased in 2015 for the first time in three years, according to Pew Research Center's latest annual study on global restrictions on religion.
The share of countries with "high" or "very high" levels of government restrictions – i.e., laws, policies and actions that restrict religious beliefs and practices – ticked up from 24% in 2014 to 25% in 2015. Meanwhile, the percentage of countries with high or very high levels of social hostilities – i.e., acts of religious hostility by private individuals, organizations or groups in society – increased in 2015, from 23% to 27%. Both of these increases follow two years of declines in the percentage of countries with high levels of restrictions on religion by these measures.
Among the world's 25 most populous countries, Russia, Egypt, India, Pakistan and Nigeria had the highest overall levels of government restrictions and social hostilities involving religion. Egypt had the highest levels of government restrictions in 2015, while Nigeria had the highest levels of social hostilities.

Point taken, but isn't it interesting that they at least pretend they're being responsible when it comes to vaccinations?
When it comes to mutilating somebody's body and sexually assaulting them as an infant, we just blithely go about it as though nothing can possibly go wrong.
Heck, since when has the media even acknowledged that we routinely rape male infants of their right to "my body, my choice?" When has the media ever acknowledged the ethical depravity in the American Academy of Pediatrics' proposal that routine infant male genital mutilation is the best way to prevent cervical cancer?
At least the media will play up the autism-vaccine link for clicks.
