education in a secular state. Jacques Rousseau of the Free Society Institute considers existing legislative protection of religious beliefs to be clear and adequate and expressed concern about the charter allowing discrimination against the non-religious and containing undue limitation on freedom of speech over and above the hate speech clause in the Constitution. Rossouw also expressed concern about vague wording open to interpretation in a document intended to provide clarity about constitutional rights. According to the Freedom from Religion South Africa action group, an association of freethinkers, atheists, sceptics and agnostics committed to a secular state, the charter would undermine secularity, democracy and freedom in South Africa. The group is concerned that, instead of advancing freedom of religion, the charter would advance religion and inhibit the religious freedom of those in minority religions and the non-religious. The group is concerned that the charter seeks to entrench religion in educational and state institutions using state powers and state funds. The group has drafted and proposed its own South African Charter of the Freedom from Religion in opposition to the charter.
