| Abstract |
Until the 1990s, the view that religious pluralism had causeddeep troubles for centuries but has now ceased to create structuralproblems for political practice and political theory in modernstate societies was absolutely predominant in politics, politicalphilosophy and the sociology of religion after the Second WorldWar. Religiously motivated or legitimised wars and civil wars were‘far behind us’. The principle of religious toleranceis widely recognised, and the institutions and practices oftoleration are deeply rooted.
