Pluralism refers to tolerance for different types of ideas, persons, or groups. For example, religious pluralism, as guarenteed by the US Constitution, is a policy allowing different religious groups to coexist inthe United States.
Pluralism is the opposite of xenophobia (hatred of strangers), majoritarianism and nativism (giving preference to the native born and attacking immigrants who bring different values of ways of life).
