The relationship of the state to religious associations in the Republic of Kazakhstan is regulated by the Constitution of 30 August 1995 and the Law of 11 October 2011 on religious activities and religious associations.
The constitutional regulation of religious issues includes the legal status of religious associations in the state and the freedom of human and civil conscience. The Constitution introduces the principle of a secular state. It prohibits the activities of religious associations spreading religious hatred and religious parties. It guarantees freedom of conscience for every person. It stipulates that the exercise of the right to freedom of conscience may neither condition nor limit the rights and duties of man and citizen towards the state. A characteristic feature of the Basic Law is the prohibition of propaganda or agitation in favour of religious superiority.
The specification of the constitutional regulation of religious issues was made in statutory form. The legislator defined the basic concepts related to religious regulation and defined the powers and duties of religious associations with particular emphasis on the prohibitions related to their activities.
The constitutional-statutory regulation of denominational issues has been stable for many years and no changes have been announced in this respect.
