Is freedom of worship a basic human right?

Freedom of worship! I also call it total free in my own word. What of if I can say something and not be abel to put it on paper. I think this country (Egypt) want this for population benefit purpose from some rich Islamic country, I have a similer example, I was born and grew up in South-west of Nigeria where everyone is absolutely free to serve whatever god he/she want, you may have stone as god no one will treat you to stop worship it, except you have your own personal conviction to change, and in the Northern part of Nigeria, there you must be a muslim before you can do anything, during each of the population sensu, a man may say I have a hundred wife in my house and they cannot come out for counting and no other man can see them, and also no man, during this time should declear himself a christian or of any other religion. What was happening then was that they declare themself for some country like Soudi Arabia as a muslim nation and get themself some benefits and there were a lot of problem untill new president came in and fight against this. (no more of such problem in Nigeria today, just an example)

One important thing poeple don't understand is that the more majority of a country is making laws the more the minority of that country will be affecting. Some people want this law, which is self government to them, but some doesn't want it, becaouse government is no longer control the street alone but now peoples bedroom.

I am a christian and not becaus someone force me to be, God Himself doesn't force people to serve Him, why do just a man make me law of what I should be withing my LIBERTY, my Bible says "I have place before you this days, death and life, choose" that was God spoken. This is a personal choice and not the government choice.
