In Collaboration with the Federation of Swiss Protestant Churches
True religious faith cannot be reconciled with xenophobia and racism, yet it is often used as a justification for both. Although people of many different religions live together in Europe, they often have difficulty understanding each other.
1. How can people's understanding of different religions in Europe be improved?

4. What is the role of religious fundamentalism in this context?
