Abstract

This paper puts forward the notion of ‘Religious Tolerance Relativism’ (RTR), which is thought to help in coming to understand the diversity of religions. In short, RTR aims at the proper treatment of one’s fellows, and prescribes that one should not express the opinion that another’s religious beliefs are wrong, lacking, or mistaken. In this paper, I present five arguments that challenge the RTR position.
