Abstract

The presence of many religions in any one community is not unusual. When taken to its logical conclusion, religious pluralism asserts that no faith has privileged access to the truth. Religious pluralism, according to some philosophers, is a declaration that all faiths are genuine, even though the nature of their realisation of the truth of religion and the ways of realisation may vary. However, in this case, as well, the link of unity among adherents is artificial and needs to be more vital to address pre-existing issues. Swami Vivekananda disagreed with the claims of universality made by faiths he believed to be based on illogical, unscientific, and counterproductive dogma and doctrine. The goal of achieving religious peace is to bring people together. This suggests that adhering to a global faith does not mean abandoning one's own. The objective is to improve man's situation. What he meant by "universal religion" was not the establishment of a single philosophical or mythological framework or set of ceremonial practices for everyone to adhere to.
