Religious tolerance means the ability to appreciate spiritual values, beliefs, and practices that are different from yours. Religion is also a topic that touches the heart. It can often be difficult for individuals to set aside personal preferences and to consider ideas or situations appropriately.

Today, the concept of interfaith tolerance means not only the cooperation of believers, but all members of the community in the struggle for excellence, and it is an important factor in strengthening peace and stability.

The most tolerant religion is considered Buddhism. Monistic religion with an open mind. However, as is the Dharmic faith, the nations that make up Abraham's religion have a long history of intolerance and prejudice.
Religious tolerance is the way to world peace. In order to establish world peace to avoid violence and to follow the morals of all religions. Both believers and unbelievers live in the same community. It is therefore important that religious tolerance be to maintain peace among people from all over the world.

Religion gives people something they do not believe in, gives a sense of structure and usually gives a group of people to connect with over the same beliefs. Hence, religious tolerance is very important especially when we are living in a secular country where different people from different communities holding different faiths reside.
