peace,

Firstly, I do not equate "democratic" with ALL the things you list.

Anyways, I will comment on the obvious ones...

the right to teach children several religions
the freedom to disagree with religious figures

See chapter 9. Ironically, this chapter is often used to show hatred towards non-believers, e.g. the oft quoted out of context "kill them wherever you find them" verse but this chapter is one of the most powerful chapters there is on inter-faith relations. Secondly, since The Quran recommends verify , seek knowledge, discusses loads of questions from "people of the book" and their revelations it is inevitible that exposure to and study of other faiths would take place. The Quran never advocates blind following of any religious figure, verify, seek knowledge, best is most righteous, listen to what is said and follow what is best etc.
