6. Sudan
We are continuing our list of countries where religion is illegal with Sudan that implements one of the strictest Sharia norms in the world today. Among other things, Muslim women aren’t allowed to marry non-Muslims. There are reports of Christian female students sentenced to 20 lashes for wearing trousers, which are deemed indecent clothing for women under Sharia Law. Fortunately, the sentence wasn’t carried out, but it did serve its purpose of intimidating Christians. Members of smaller Muslim religious groups are also faced with threats, mostly because they can be charged with apostasy, which is punishable by death.
