Frankfurt, as a multicultural metropolis, is home to a great variety of religious confessions. Freedom of religion is included as an integral part of the (Grundgesetz) in Article 4, which guarantees that everybody may practice their religion, act according to its laws and propagate it without harm. Thus everybody is free to choose their religion, and to change confessions and convert to another religion. Moreover, no one is compelled to follow any religious denomination at all. Nevertheless, freedom of religion is restricted if other basic rights and laws are being violated.
