Ultimately, it is not very important what legal model is selected, and my knowledge of Hungary is so limited that I do not dare make any recommendation on this point. Secularism with no forms or recognition or registration for any religion is an acceptable model for some countries, but it does not automatically guarantee religious liberty. What is more important is to adopt a clear stand in favour of religious liberty, and a not too restrictive definition of its corresponding limits. Personally, I believe that only what I have called the liberal approach to the questions of the limits of religious liberty may really protect the less popular minorities within the contexts of present-day European religious pluralism. Laws should clearly state that religious liberty may be limited only for the sake of the basic human rights.
Religious liberty is of a higher value than most laws currently in the books of every country.
While the conservative approach claims that religious liberty is limited by almost any existing law, we should claim that, when laws have the effect of limiting religious liberty, they should be amended. But by no means should we restrict religious liberty to society-affirming organisations. Historically, religions whose values were radically different from the larger society have often played a positive and important role. Be it as it may be, the main test of religious liberty in your country, as in any country, will be how well your laws, old or new, will be able to protect small, poor, society-rejecting or unpopular religious minorities.
