The restriction of religion to private life therefore does not necessarily threaten the vital interests of the majority religion, if there is one, and it protects minority religions from tyranny of the majority.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of separating religion from public life. By restricting religion to the private sphere, it does not pose a threat to the dominant religion followed by the majority of the population. At the same time, this separation safeguards minority religions from the potential oppression or domination by the beliefs and practices of the majority. In essence, this approach ensures religious freedom and prevents the tyranny that may arise from the dominance of a single religious group.
