The constitution provides for freedom of religion, but includes fixed legal conditions and prohibits what the government considers religious fundamentalism and intolerance. The constitutional provision prohibiting religious fundamentalism is widely understood to be aimed at Muslims. There is no state religion, and a variety of religious communities are active. Religious organizations and missionary groups are free to proselytize, worship and construct places of worship. However, religious groups must register with the government, and any group whose behavior the government considers subversive remains subject to sanctions.
The Unification Church has been banned since the mid-1980's on the grounds that the government considers it to be a subversive organization.
