On Thursday 2 June 2022, the United States (US) Department of State released the 2021 International Religious Freedom Report.

Mandated by the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998, the annual International Religious Freedom Report details the status of religious freedom in foreign countries around the world, including in Luxembourg, and describes US actions to support religious freedom worldwide.

According to the report, the New Apostolic Church stated that the government’s continued failure to create a legislative framework for formal recognition of religious groups discriminated against groups that did not have conventions with the government.

The report also noted that the Research and Information on Anti-Semitism in Luxembourg (RIAL), an NGO, reported antisemitic incidents occurring during the year included physical altercations and antisemitic social media posts. The NGO in its annual report recorded 64 antisemitic incidents in 2020. while the NGO Islamophobia Observatory in Luxembourg (OIL) reported two incidents for the year. Religious communities reported there were fewer incidents of physical harassment due to COVID-19 restrictions, with most instances of harassment occurring online.

US Ambassador to Luxembourg, Thomas Barrett said: "Religious freedom, a universal human right, enriches societies and contributes to stronger and more stable nations. Unfortunately, many governments around the world are still failing to live up to their international obligations as they restrict religious belief and practice.  I am grateful to the Luxembourg government for its commitment to working with the United States and other likeminded governments, bilaterally and through international organisations, in confronting religiously motivated discrimination worldwide and promoting religious freedom across the globe. "
