In a few countries the Church has been forced to litigate the issue of its religiosity, either affirmatively or in response to unfounded criminal charges. Inevitably the Church has prevailed in these cases and its religious bona fides have been unequivocally recognized. Some of these decisions, including decisions by the United Kingdom Supreme Court, the Cassation Court in Italy and the High Court in Australia, are now considered by leading scholars and judicial authorities to have established the standards regarding religious recognition that all religions must meet.
