Perhaps "legally" they have freedom, but in practice they have little and are either under persecution or constant threat of it.

If you want more information, simply Google "Christian persecution"+Turkey and you will get over 21,000 hits. You'll find plenty of evidence there the 0.2% (that's only about 140,000 souls) of the Turkish population which has managed to remain Christian does not live freely. Then reflect on the fact at one time most of the population of Turkey was Christian - before the Muslims came and wiped them out or forcibly converted them!

Your premise of religious freedom in Turkey does not hold water. Interestingly enough, most of the religious persecution on this planet is perpetrated by Muslims. That ought to tell you something about where this vile religion stands on human rights and freedom.
