Almost all enterprises had sports clubs and health complexes financed by the trade unions. Organized sports activities at youth clubs, sports clubs and summer camps were a popular form of leisure activity. Sports equipment, gymnasiums and stadiums for secondary schools and universities were all funded by the State budget. Since the civil war, however, most of these facilities do not function. It further states that the country is a secular state and that no religious ideology shall be granted the status of state ideology.
Religious organizations can participate in social life and use the mass media.
They may organize religious centres, places of worship, communities, missions, educational establishments, publishing houses, charitable establishments and associations. They are subject to all laws, including taxation, as is any other legal entity. As individuals, persons may not only worship freely, but must be allowed to do so while in military service. There is intended to be a strict separation between religion and politics. Any person, regardless of religion, has the right to join political parties and to be elected to public office.
