As a result,there is understandable anxiety about the role of religion in public life, and our society attempts to inculcate the values of respect, tolerance, and pluralism. But what are the limits of these ideals, and how do they play out in practice? Is it possible to show respect for individuals while rigorously examining the foundations and implications of their beliefs? More broadly, do the ideals of pluralism and tolerance provide a sufficiently substantive set of principles around which a society can unite? This panel will attempt to identify the fault lines of religion and pluralism, and consider how best to address them.Exclusive Religion in a Pluralistic Society: What are the tensions and how do we move forward?Timothy J.
