A prestigious report on religious freedom praised Mongolia for the degree of religious freedom offered its citizens. 

In its annual report, “Religious Freedom in the World 2007,” the Hudson Institute's Center on Religious Freedom in Washington, D.C. found Mongolia provides more religious freedom than is found in much of the world. 

Overall the report, which will be released later this year, found regimes that respect religious freedoms also offer its citizens more civil liberties, more prosperity and better health care. 

Additionally, the report found religious freedom has become commonplace in most Western, Christian nations. Non-Christian nations noted for religious freedom included Shintoist Japan, Buddhist Thailand and Mongolia, Jewish Israel, and Islamic Mali and Senegal. 

Countries which most repressed religious freedom included communist regimes such as Cuba, China, Vietnam, North Korea, Islamist regimes such as Saudi Arabia, Iran, Sudan, and former Soviet republic such as Belarus, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, the latter two of which are predominantly Islamic.
