Religious Toleranceattitude of mind that

acceptance of different

Christian
Christian followers
believe that there
religion is the only true
religion.
They have one of the
three main beliefs about
other religions.
•
Exclusivism: other faiths are in
grave error and often viewed
as opponents.
•
Inclusivism: other faiths have
some truth in them, but are
only partly developed.
•
Pluralism: all faiths are
legitimate, valid, and true
when viewed from within their
particular culture
Judaism
Judaism says that the
beliefs of all nations
have a place in the world
to come. Although they
do not believe in mixing
other religions with
Judaism due to
marriage.
This means they are
inclusivism religion.
Islam
Islam consider their
religion to the be the true
religion and invite people
of all races, nationalities
and religions. However,
Jews and Christians have
not been completely
responsible with their
revelation and should still
be called to the Muslim
faith.
This makes Islam in
between exclusivism
and inclusivism. This
means that Islam thinks
other religions are
wrong but don’t see
them as opponents as
much as invite them to
their religion.
Buddhism
The meaning of this religion
is a discipline which enables
a person to uphold and
respect one's own beliefs
without in any way being
disrespectful or
discourteous towards other
religions.
To this end, we must
establish mutual
understanding, mutual
cooperation with
friendliness towards other
religions to achieve religious
harmony.
This religion can be deemed
pluralism.
