New Zealand is the Commonwealth country with the greatest amount of religious freedom, according to new research published this week by the Council of Christians and Jews. The CCJ statistics have been unveiled ahead of the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting taking place on April 19 and 20 in the UK.

The figures show that the 53-state Commonwealth is “a vibrant multi-faith entity, but that religious freedom is still severely lacking in some countries”.
