The passage of the Magna Carta Religious Freedom Act has been met with opposition from Muslim, atheist and humanist groups who say that the law unfairly favors Christians.

The bill enumerates the rights of every person to propagate his/her own religious beliefs, the right to disseminate religious publications, the right to religious rights and ceremonies, organizational independence and the right to freedom  against discrimination in the workplace. This bill aims to promote a free market of ideas where no religion is suppressed or quelled by the others.

The proposed bill aims to promote a free market of ideas where no religion is suppressed or quelled by the others. However, Muslim, atheist and humanist groups cried foul over the language of the bill saying that it assumed all Filipinos are Christians. They also said that the bill, despite promoting rights for everyone, is actually giving preferential treatment to Christian groups while excusing humanists and minor religious groups. It is also added that the bill may have repercussions to humanist organizations and activists.
