ABSTRACT

When considering religious pluralism in the context of any particular country, we may start by examining the diversity of creeds and the way they coexist with each other and in the greater society. We can consider the degree of freedom each creed or belief system has for sharing ideas and cultural space, and for developing as a coherent community within the larger society. We can look at the existence of legal protections and provisions for individual and group manifestation of religious belief and practice, as well as at societal attitudes and traditions that foster harmony among a diversity of religious believers.
