Religious pluralism: As the name of the
worldview according to which one's religion is not the sole and
exclusive source of truth, and thus that at least some truths and true
values exist in other religions.
Sometimes as a synonym for ecumenism, i.e., the promotion of some level of unity, co-operation, and improved understanding between different religions...
Religious pluralism... goes beyond mere toleration.
...religious
toleration is only the absence of religious persecution, and does not
necessarily preclude religious discrimination.
