 Those sympathetic to Quinn’s position do not deny that some who find the justification for their religious beliefs challenged might for that reason find themselves with a weaker basis for refraining from intolerant behavior or become even more intolerant in defense of the beliefs they continue to hold firmly. But those sympathetic to Quinn’s “pathway from diversity to tolerance” maintain that acknowledged religious diversity can, and often does, foster in individuals (1) greater respect for their epistemic competitors and their positions and (2) a more flexible, inclusive understanding of their own position. And those who respect their competitors and have a more inclusive understanding of their own perspectives, they add, are less likely to engage in inappropriate intolerant religious behavior (Basinger 2008; Dormandy 2020).
