Minority religion
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Minority religion is the religion held by a minority of the population of a country, state, or region. Minority religions may have a stigma, that may, or may not be justified. An example of a stigma is using the term cult with its extremely negative connotations for certain new religious movements. People who belong to a minority religion may be subjected to discrimination and prejudice, especially when the religious differences correlate with ethnic differences.
Laws are made in the countries to upbring the minorities at par with majority,and to protect the culture and civilization of minority, and to establish harmony with the majority.
