	Three top business leaders will address the virtual IRF Summit on July 16th, in a plenary presentation. They will discuss how and why religious freedom is a benefit to business and economies. They will also look at how business itself is a place where religious freedom is built as people from different faiths and beliefs work together for common goals. Our planet will have 2.3 billion more religiously affiliated people by 2050 compared with just 0.1 billion more religiously unaffiliated people. That&rsquo;s like religion &ldquo;winning&rdquo; 23-to-1. Research shows that this religious growth can be good for the workplace and the bottom lines of businesses &ndash; as long as restrictions on freedom of religion or belief are kept low. In such countries, innovative strength is more than twice as high as in countries where governments and societies don&rsquo;t respect freedom of religion or belief. So, freedom to believe &ndash; or not believe &ndash; is good for business.<br />
