Diversity is one of the fundamental determinants of a liberal society and is often emphasized in philosophical and political discourse as a characteristic of a liberal society. In our presentation, we want to show that respect for diversity is indispensable but not sufficient to respect human dignity. A higher level of sensitivity is needed to respect the right to change religion, as well as the right not to belong to any religious community, which includes the right to be agnostic and atheist. This provision has not even been thoroughly elaborated in the EU, because according to the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights (2000), Article 10, everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion. This right includes freedom to change his religion or belief and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in worship, teaching, practice and observance.
In most Islamic states, there is a right to religious minorities and to respect for diversity, but conversion from Islam to other religions is strictly prohibited. In my opinion, this model is unacceptable from the point of view of respect for human rights. In my contribution, I would like to use the example of European states with a predominantly Islamic population, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo, to show that these states are a good paradigm for respecting diversity, which also includes the right to change religion.
