Freedom of thought can be limited in several ways — through censorship, arrests, book burning, or, more subtly, through propaganda.

    A group (or individual) displays religious toleration or religious tolerance when it does not oppose by force, does not oppose by rhetoric, or actively supports religious beliefs or activities of which it is not a part.

    Religious tolerance does not mean one must view any or all other religions as equally valid to theirs but simply that one accepts other's right to hold religoius beliefs different from own's own and practice their religion as they see fit, within reason.

    Freedom of religion is based upon the legal concept of having freedom of belief as a matter of right, while freedom of worship is the freedom to engage in religious expressions and activities as a matter of right. Religious toleration by a state is a legal theory founded upon endurance and the absence of that basic freedom, because a religion has been previously established by the state.
    There seems to be a logical break or a religion by stealth attempt here. Humanitas talks about religious tolerance while at the same time promoting the doctrine of a certain religion above others? Surely equality would mean that no religion is used as the basis or all have to be used?

    Or has the list already disproved the validity of the arguement that there is such a thing as equality when the basis of this code just happens by chance to align itself with a particular religion putting it accidentally in the forefront of the group?
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

    Pape, of course our ideals have intersections with different religions. How could they not. The idea to love all men even your enemy can be found by Jesus, too. So what?
