In what ways does Thomas Jefferson's Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom foster an environment of religious tolerance?

The Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom protects people’s right to practice the religion they choose—or no religion—without government interference. It also rejects giving one faith special legal status, promoting equality among religious beliefs. Therefore, the correct choice is “by safeguarding the freedom to follow one’s own beliefs, ensuring religious equality.”
