Exclusivism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Exclusivism is the practice of being exclusive; mentality characterized by the disregard for opinions and ideas other than one's own, or the practice of organizing entities into groups by excluding those entities which possess certain traits (for an opposite example, see essentialism).
[edit] Religious exclusivism
Religious exclusivism asserts that one religion is true and that all others are in error.
It has two forms;
Absolute Exclusivism; Asserts that one religion is true and that all others are in error and one must be born into the religion to be a true adherent.
Relative Exclusivism; Asserts that one religion is true and that all others are in error therefore conversion is mandatory. Examples are Christianity and Islam.
