Abstract

In my response to the article "Both Islam and Christianity Invite to Tolerance" I adress the different criticisms that are raised by the authors. Some of the criticisms can be agreed with, while others can be refuted. In general I do not share the author's perspective that every religion promotes peaceful coexistence. Instead claiming theoretically that religiosity has such an effect, the relationship between religiosity and violence should be analyzed empirically.
