Description
Summary:Philosophers of religion have taken the assumption for granted that the various religious traditions of the world have incompatible beliefs. In this paper, I will argue that this assumption is more problematic than has been generally recognized.

I will also briefly examine some implications of my argument for how one might respond to the existence of religious diversity.
