For the morality of an act to be determinable, the act must be human. For an act to be a human act, it must be done with knowledge, freedom, and voluntariness.
Without any of these three elements, the act is simply an act of man. Its morality or immorality cannot be determined.
About freedom, if the doer of the act has no freedom in doing the act, then he is not accountable as the same is not his action. If he has freedom, then he is accountable for it.
In a democratic society, citizens are afforded with freedoms and rights, such as freedom of expression, liberty of abode, right to education, right to work, and others.
This entails that if the society is not democratic, freedoms and rights are curtailed or limited, or they may be eliminated.
Thus, freedom and democracy go hand in hand together, without one, the other cannot exist.
One of the fundamental freedoms that man has is religion, that is, freedom of religion. If a man is free, then he has the right to choose his religion.
According to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, "Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience, and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship, and observance."
