I have heard through the media that there is no religious freedom in Iran. That the country is strictly Islam, But I found this on one of the country's websites:
http://www.iranchamber.com/religions/articles/religion_in_iran.php
"Today, Armenian, Assyrian and other Christians, as well as Jews and Zoroastrians enjoy complete religious freedom in Iran although they are expected to observe Islamic codes of public conduct. They are also represented at the Majlis (parliament). Furthermore, many members of these religions fought side-by-side Muslim Iranians in the Constitutional Uprising of the late 19th century, which finally resulted in the Constitution of 1906."
And then there were pictures of Christian Churches in Iran, of which are just beautiful..

So anyhow, I was just wondering, Is the information on the website accurate (up to date) and is their truly religious freedom in Iran.
