This exercise provides interactive discussion prompters and tasks that help students to reflect carefully on what they think tolerance really means. It should form the basis for two 1-hour lessons, for secondary students between ages 14 - 18. The aim is to foster a critical discussion about tolerant societies, and to help students to reflect upon whether there is a distinction between tolerance and cultural/ moral relativism. How can tolerance be a principled approach that is fair to both individuals and communities? Is tolerance fair to **all **citizens? Does a tolerant state promote genuine** intellectual** diversity? How can a state promote tolerance without becoming an intolerant state, i.e. without promoting censorship of controversial ideas?

This 38 full color **interactive **slide presentation can be used to teach many concepts pertaining to religion and society. It explains the relationship between modern states (primarily the United States and Great Britain) and religions (with focus on Christianity & Islam). Concepts such as secularism, liberalism, theocracy and apostasy are included. Religious teachings are used and analysed, so that students are taught to demonstrate knowledge of **religious approaches to law **as well as applications and analysis. Exam practice questions are provided as well as guidance on how to answer them. This is also useful for citizenship and cultural studies courses.
