It distinguishes between these two concepts and explains the origins of religious tolerance promotion as a tool of statecraft. The report then presents case studies of countries engaged in religious tolerance promotion, such as Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Qatar, Russia, and Uzbekistan. It provides suggestions for the U.S. government to encourage the promotion of religious tolerance by other states, while also holding those governments accountable for providing religious freedom as outlined in international legal instruments like the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, as required under the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>      <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"btn-primary single-cta-btn\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.uscirf.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/2022-12\/2022%20Religious%20Freedom%20Tolerance%20Report.pdf\">View PDF<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div id=\"block-taxonomytermview\" class=\"block block-custom-blocks block-taxonomy-term-view\">\n<div class=\"content\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uscirf.gov\/publications\/tolerance-religious-freedom-and-authoritarianism?rand=6542\" target=\"_blank\">Source link <\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tolerance, Religious Freedom, and Authoritarianism Tolerance, Religious Freedom, and Authoritarianism \u2013 This report details how authoritarian states promote religious tolerance without necessarily ensuring freedom of religion or belief.
