One’s decision to follow a particular religious outfit should be revered and respected by all societal members. The demand for respect and recognition from other religious groupings is the main source of conflict in this realm. Despite the ever existing calls for respect of other's rights of religion, the China case of beating up someone to death is astonishing. People have rights towards their religious followings, and they should be respected. The case at hand was because one failed to surrender to the calls by some cult members to give out his number. It is extremely saddening how some revered religious fronts use forceful means in a bid to get a congregation. Muslims always demand respect from all other religions in line with detesting from criticism, something that most Christian churches also request. Non-believers also do not want to be criticized or forced to incline to a given religious setting, which is within their rights (Andrew).
Basing on the fact that a given conviction is unethical or doltish does not imply that the people who conform to it should not be recognized. Conviction may be incautious or nonsensical, but will always center on the demand of people in the society. Hence, an individual's entitlement to accept things and to hold their religious convictions must be regarded. Having the right to a conviction does not make on avoid getting criticism in line with the same conviction. The right to censure has the same premise as the right to accept. The inquiry of religious toleration has been wrangled all through the ages with a specific end goal to understand the reasons why scorn creeps into religion. The cults that exist in nations always have selfish interests that may not conform to the religious callings. Despite the fact that there are calls for respect for the respective religions, the latter should also accord the same desired respect to the society. There is no basis of forcing a person to join a given sect if the latter is out to spread the word of God. The existing gap in line with statutes and practice in this respect also brings forth further argument on the same. It is worth noting that a basic dissection can uncover whether there is anything in the educating of a religion that gives space for narrow mindedness even by implication (Nicholas, 21).
People ought to spontaneously relate the deeper conviction of one's own calculated system in line with the totality of reality that is taught in one's own religion. One approach to abstain from being fanatical about the given religious settings is to understand that the reality taught by it cannot be declared with complete sureness by virtue of its transcendental character. There is a lack of a validation procedure in line with the transcendental beliefs by routines accessible for the confirmation of facts of the common domain because it is past the pale of experiences that people have. This conviction ought to ingrain a level of sound wariness about one's own particular understanding of religious truths. In like manner, they ought to additionally serve to infuse a smidgen of admiration for teachings of different religions that likewise has indistinguishable limits. Besides, this mentality has the suggestion that the individuals who are sure about religious truths are, by definition, prejudiced, a conclusion that people ought to evade (Andrew).
Societies should desist from the tumbling and issues that affect the society in line with respecting other people’s beliefs. Religions should not consider themselves as being superior to others. Respect that is desired should be accorded to all respective religions.
