What is the oldest written source in this country that mentions this right?
Israel
Freedom of religion is established in the 1992 Basic Law Human Dignity and Liberty. This law describes Israel as a “Jewish and democratic state”, but also “references the Declaration of the Establishment of the State of Israel, which protects freedom to practice or not practice religious beliefs, including freedom of conscience, faith, religion, and worship, regardless of an individual’s religion” (state.gov). Additionally, “the law recognizes only Judaism, Christianity, Islam, the Druze faith, and the Baha’i Faith” (state.gov).
