Me Veldsman argues that there exists no logical or rational reason to distinguish between the protection of the right to equality "with respect to unfair discrimination solely on grounds of ...religion" in the first item in the Table of Non-Derogable Rights found in section 37, from "any derogation" under a state of emergency, and contemplation that does not include supernatural/deity beliefs. He therefore suggests that the word "religion" be replaced with the words "conscience, religion, thought, belief and opinion".
