I'm too tired to comment properly and in any event have no particularly coherent thoughts on the point, but I went looking for the ECtHR case on the Turkish headscarves/education case earlier, so have the link to do with as you will: http://cmiskp.echr.coe.int/tkp197/viewhbkm.asp?skin=hudoc-en&action=html&table=1132746FF1FE2A468ACCBCD1763D4D8149&key=11423 (That should work, the ECtHR searchable database is incredibly irritating about providing stable sensible permanent links). Some interesting points, particularly in the dissent at the end.
"Religious freedom" is singled out in the EConv.HR and, if I recollect correctly, the Universal Declaration (and various constitutions and the like). The question is, what is "religion" or religious belief for these purposes: in the Turkish case it was observed that the right has been of use to atheists.
