#(In)tolerance

You would think that by learning more about religion and the different ones there are to offer, we would become more “tolerant” or at least become open minded to try to understand the others religion. However we learned that this is not the case. We do not become more tolerant even when learning the study of religion, and it is clear through today’s society. In the article by Jackson and Pellegrini, they mention how tolerance is not perceived as it should be. When we think of tolerance it is being open minded and more tolerant towards one another, but it is now seen as hierarchical and nondemocratic. We are actually running in the opposite direction and away from true freedom.
