'In a multi-faith society religious people should not try to convert followers of other religions'
‘In a multi-faith society religious people should not try to convert followers of other religions’
In order to understand this argument fully, we have to look at it from different perspectives.
In a multi-faith society, everyone should have religious freedom, and there should be religious pluralism: all religions are accepted as having equal right to co-exist. However sometimes, these two things collide. For example, all Christians believe that people should have religious freedom, but they also believe that it is their duty to convert others because it was Jesus’ command. Nonetheless by converting non-Christians, it implies that Christianity view other religions as inferior, which disrupts the idea of religious pluralism. On the other hand, by not performing their believes, i.e. listening to God and converting others, it would mean that they won’t have complete religious freedom.
