Interfaith dialogue

Welcome! This subreddit seeks to promote the many values often associated with inter-faith dialogue, including but not limited to the following:

enacting nonviolence in an unfolding space of dialogue by overcoming our own religious violences and prejudices;
understanding a variety of religious and spiritual perspectives through a sustained, humble, and mutual exchange of ideas;
securing a (post-)secular basis, consisting of a "trans-" or "post-" religious common ground, in an affirmation of a plurality in diverse forms of life;
sharing trans-formative experiences and encounters with religion and spirituality, with a careful attention and balanced response to instances of trauma, emergency, and crisis;
working together to move beyond encumbered hatred and mere tolerance towards a more active and fundamental mood of healing and love;
serving in a multi-faith forum for candid and creative problem-solving on matters of religious conflict in history as well as current events today;
providing material aid and prayer to those who are presently suffering as a result of religious violences;
thinking freely about difficult questions related to matters such as philosophy, science, and theology;
envisioning what a more peaceful "mono-", "poly-", and otherwise "non-" theistic fluorishing might generally look like...

While we may welcome peaceful discussion, those more inclined toward "debate" and "argument" may likely find r/DebateReligion better suited to their needs.
