Article 25 confers Freedom of Reliogion on the Indian Citizens as well as on non-citizens. It gives freedom of conscience and bestows freedom to profess, practice, and propagate one’s religion.

All people living on this land are free to have their own intimate relationship with god, that includes not to have any relationship with god as well.

Freedom to profess means one can announce one’s religion.

Freedom to practice means the freedom to follow all the rituals and practices related to one’s religion.

Freedom to propagate means freedom to spread one’s own brand of religion. But it doesn’t allow forceful conversions as that would be against the freedom of conscience.
