Patel Viewing Guide

Patel argues that studying other faiths is important in America to promote religious pluralism, which is a core value mentioned in founding documents like the Declaration of Independence. Religious pluralism allows people to freely practice their faith without interference from the government. Patel defines pluralism as respecting diversity and outlines that interfaith leaders must have knowledge of (A) their own faith, (B) other faiths, and (C) how to build relationships across religious divides. Patel also stresses the importance of interfaith leadership in a time of growing religious tensions and misunderstandings.
