The Finnish Constitution of 1919 grants every citizen the right to choose his religious community and to practice his faith publicly and privately. The president of the country appoints the archbishop and bishops of the Evangelical Church and the church is organized and managed in accordance with the Church Act. Other religious communities are governed, and new religious communities may be established in accordance with government acts for those purposes. Rights and duties of citizens do not depend upon the religious communities to which they belong.
The US State Department Report on Human Rights says that the Finnish government respects the rights of religious freedom in practice.
