Summary: | Religious tolerance presents a challenge to both the religious right and secular left. On the left, tolerance is paramount. But many liberals are uneasy with religion, especially the type that upholds traditional views on gender roles and sexuality. On the right, religion is thought to be under siege by an increasingly aggressive secularism and thus in need of fortification. However, among conservatives tolerance per se is not necessarily the cardinal virtue. Consequently, liberals find it easy to get along with progressive groups like Wiccans, Buddhists, and the growing ranks of “nones” (religiously unaffiliated), while conservatives find common cause with traditionalists like Orthodox Jews, Mormons, and the Amish., Muslims, however, vex them both. |
