Article 9 of the Human Rights Act is one which relates very heavily to the reason the European Convention on Human Rights was first put together. It sets out that everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience, and religion, including the right to change that religion or belief. It also sets out that everyone has the right to manifest their religion or belief either alone or in community with others, including worship, teaching, and practice. Why is this so important? Put simply, because millions of murdered Jews testified to it’s importance.
