Abstract

This paper is conceived from a secular perspective, and designed to address three elements identified in the call for papers: “Pluralistic tendencies,” their counter-part of “exclusivist attitudes,” and “creating an ethos of inter-religious harmony.” I choose to tackle these aspects by (a) exploring the meaning of religion, (b) addressing a specific attitude often corresponding to religion, namely religious fervour, and (c) assessing the validity and instrumentality of facilitating a universalist education as a tool to de-fuse “mistrust and hatred among various faith-communities.” The following paper is intended to serve only as a preliminary discussion guidance paper.

Keywords: Religion, Religious Fervour, Universalist Education
