Currently, religious freedom is considered a fundamental human right, addressed by various religions, governments and organizations as something that must be understood and guaranteed. However, achieving this recognition has been a long and complex process in countries such as Mexico, Colombia and Argentina. These nations, marked by the strong influence of the Catholic tradition inherited from Spanish colonization, have faced significant challenges in establishing legal frameworks that allow for the coexistence of different religious expressions. This article examines the historical evolution of religious freedom in these countries, with the aim of analyzing the legal and social transformations that allowed the recognition and protection of religious diversity in their specific contexts, where secularization processes, constitutional reforms and social movements have been key in the advance towards a broader religious pluralism.

Palabras llave : Religious Freedom; Constitution; Legal Framework; Religion.
