840. Is placing obstructions on beliefs that cause social disturbances an infringement on the freedom of conscience?

Repressing someone from outwardly expressing a belief when those acts are harmful to others is not an infringement of their freedom of conscience, as this repression leaves the belief itself entirely free.
