More conflicts of rights. Religion promoting misogynist views:

'The NSS said it had found a "worrying" number of cases where charities registered under the charitable purpose of "the advancement of religion" have promoted or condoned misogyny through their websites or social media accounts, including YouTube, Instagram and TikTok.
Registered charities are entitled to tax relief, which the NSS said essentially amounts to state subsidisation of the promotion of misogyny, sexism and violence against women and girls.
Recent examples include Birmingham-based charity An-Noor Masjid and Community Centre. In September, the charity shared a sermon on YouTube by Mahamed AbdurRazaq (pictured) which said men can hit their wives if they refuse to have sex.
The NSS said that unlike typical 'influencers' and other figures in the 'manosphere', faith leaders are often "highly respected" in their communities and by parents as well as young people. It said the status of being a registered charity can also make an organisation "more trustworthy".
It said this "veneer of respectability" makes their misogynist messages "even more dangerous".'

'It highlighted how the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) refused to penalise Moray Coast Baptist Church or Rosyth Baptist Church after the NSS reported them for misogyny. Both charities said wives should obey their husbands and promoted sexist stereotypes in sermons shared online.
OSCR said it could not intervene because these views were "likely to be held by virtue of a manifestation of a religious belief".'
