Jews, Christians and Muslims seem to have a harder time with pluralism in their respective majority countries.
At best, depending, everyone is happy with outsiders if the outsider knows they are really just a guest.
I've even heard liberal Israeli Jews argue, "We allow non Jews in our government."..... Yea ok, when was the last non Jew to be your Prime Minister?
But this worldwide, and has been in every nation and every religion for the most part.
Liberals I love, they represent the empathy in humanity. But how likely is it for a Muslim to end up PM of India? Or a Jew to end up PM of Tibet?
As likely as an atheist to be President of the United States.
I will give credit to the west, well, not so much recently because it seems Europe and England and America have been pulling back to the right too much. But, at least in the west, as imperfectly as we try, pluralism is still far better protected than other parts of the world.
I would say, I do envy New Zealand and Australia and Canada as far as not being fundy. But right now in America, our right wing seems to be masturbating over the prospect of turning back the clock.
