Regarding religious practice, which statement is correct?
Answer. Everyone can practice the religion of their choice, or practice none at all, without disturbing public order.
Chacun peut pratiquer la religion de son choix, ou n'en pratiquer aucune, sans troubler l'ordre public.

Freedom of conscience results in the freedom to practice a religion, without disturbing public order (meaning while respecting the rules of life in society, no noise at night, no gathering in the street...).
