Is tolerance of other religions a matter of ethics?

Answer 1

it's respect. i guess, you may not accept his beliefs, but you can connect with his experiences.

Answer 2

When it comes to religion, tolerance probably is only attained marginally by laws to protect others. Most religious groups don't promote respecting other religious groups, so laws are the only option I see.
This poem illustrates how important tolerance and protection of others' rights are:
When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.

When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.

When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.

When they came for the Jews,
I did not speak out;
I was not a Jew.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.


Friedrich Gustav Emil Martin Niem̦ller (January 14, 1892 Lippstadt, Germany РMarch 6, 1984 Wiesbaden, Germany) was a prominent German anti-Nazi theologian[1] and Lutheran pastor. He is best known as the author of the poem First they came for the Communists

Answer 3

Yes I think so. It's a matter of basic human rights. Some would say it is one part of the "freedom of conscience" that Amnesty International seeks to protect, for example. It means that all people must be free to have their own personal beliefs. Some religious practices, however, if they are harmful to other people, may not be tolerated. Again, this would be based on the protection of human rights.

Answer 4

Tolerance of all religions is a matter of world peace.

Answer 5

I think so, because the basis of almost every ethic is to treat others as you would like to be treated. I would like people to tolerate my religion without preaching to me. Therefore, I must ethically tolerate theirs without preaching to THEM.

Answer 6

For Christians it should be a matter of love because Jesus did.

Answer 7
