The Freedom of Thought Report, published annually since 2012 by Humanists International, a federation of humanist and secularist organizations, documents the legal treatment of religious and non-religious belief worldwide and is widely used by researchers and journalists on blasphemy and apostasy law. Its strength is country by country legal research compiled year over year. Its limit is that Humanists International is an advocacy body with a stated secularist position, not a neutral academic body, and because the report is an ongoing series rather than one publication, no single year, publisher or stable url is given here; cite the specific year's edition for a dated claim.
