“RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE IN BULGARIA TODAY”

Abstract

Religious tolerance continues to grow today, but at a moderate pace. Even after
the International Conference of Religious Tolerance in the Light of Human Rights in 1995
in the capital of Bulgaria – Sofia the question of studying religious tolerance between different
religious communities arose. New times open a wider horizon of worldview and
new generations become more responsive and tolerant of new personalities and religion
movements. In the increasingly global world in which we live, we are confronted every day
with different attitudes in the relations between different religious communities, their traditions
and customs. Unfortunately, there is both religious tolerance and religious intolerance.
This study aims to show religious tolerance now and how different religious groups
live together side by side. Many new religious movements have emerged in the last few
years. These religious movements are more or less accepted by different generations society.
The sooner we seek answers to important questions such as peace and harmony between
different religious communities and its implementation the sooner other answers
will emerge. We are all different as individuals, different in religion and understanding of
life. This is a root of the secret of our earthly path in the application of sharing, tolerance,
respect of each other. However, there is still an imposition in human relationship. Quantitative
method was used. Secondary data analysis is performed. Religious tolerance will
always be a leading topic for reflections between the struggle between good and evil, the
difference between white and black or the meaning of the eastern symbol “yin and yang”.
Above all leading should be what kind of person you define yourself and what is your attitude
to the color world around you.
