What is the ruling on one who believes in freedom of belief?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some of those who claim to belong to the call to Allah say, "I believe in freedom of belief in worship, so the Jew has the right to worship."

Answer:
May you be well. This is shirk (associating partners with Allah); this is kufr (disbelief). To believe in freedom of belief? We seek refuge in Allah. There is no freedom in belief. Belief is not achieved except through worship. They are not free; they are servants created to worship Allah. They are servants whether they will it or not. Therefore, whoever abandons the worship of Allah is afflicted with the worship of idols, trees, and stones, because the human being is a slave no matter what; he is a slave to his desires, a slave to his lust, a slave to the taghut (tyranny). He is a slave, but if he worships Allah, all these things are removed from him. And if he abandons the worship of Allah, he is afflicted with the worship of these things. Yes.
