Description: Established by Diana L. Eck at Harvard University in 1991, the Pluralism Project studies and interprets religious diversity and interfaith relations in the United States. The Pluralism Project’s award-winning online educational resources grow out of our ongoing research on the changing religious landscape, and emerging interfaith infrastructure, of the United States.

Pluralism is an ethic for living together in a diverse society: not mere tolerance or relativism, but the real encounter of commitments.

The religious traditions of humankind are shown here as circles, each containing a commonly used symbol of that tradition. But this visual image of separate boundaried circles—graphically convenient as it is—is highly misleading, for every religious tradition has grown through the ages in dialogue and historical interaction with others. 

The religious landscape of America is changing. In the past fifty years, new immigrants have arrived from all over the world seeking political freedom and economic prosperity. They have come with their cultural and religious traditions, their Qur’ans and Bhagavad Gitas, their rituals, prayers,  and forms of mediation, their songs, dances, and arts. They have put down roots in American soil and created community centers and sacred spaces.
