Pluralism is the recognition of diversity and the belief that every individual in a diverse world should have the equal right, freedom and safety to worship (or not worship) according to their beliefs as long as those beliefs don’t harm others. Pluralists avoid extremism or exclusivist worldviews that reject the legitimacy or diminish the value of others but try to appreciate other worldviews on their own terms. As such, it is a form of relativism in opposition to the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) each of whose orthodoxies claim their religion to be the one true faith. However, pluralists tend to regard expressions of religion like Islamist fundamentalism and violent Christian extremism (like the Ku Klux Klan) as distortions of their respective faiths. Many worldviews, such as Buddhism, Hinduism and most Indigenous worldviews, embrace pluralism. Religious pluralism in the West has deep roots but was mostly suppressed by the dominance of the Abrahamic religions. The emergence of Protestantism in the 16th century was the first move towards the revival of religious pluralism in the West.
