Tolerance In The Christian Bible

Q1) The obvious affect or prejudice is discrimination, which can come in many different forms including those that come about daily, like smaller hate crimes (eg: causing someone names based on their appearance), or a person feeling constantly ostracised from a group, and social stigma has made them feel this is because of a personal factor like their ethnicity or race.

Q2) Tolerance (in a religious sense) is the ability to accept others that either practice different beliefs to your own, or have a quality about them that differs from you, that you disagree with. In the Christian Bible, it is commonly mentioned as an after-effect of things like impatience or ignorance.

Q3) I believe that no, even in a multicultural society, that not all

I believe, not countering in secular holidays, there are more than 100 religious holidays a year. In the question there was no mechanism to say how many days would be taken off for holidays that last a longer time period (eg: the Christian Holy Week or Ramadan) so I would have to take the time off would be fore the entire duration.

‘So Peter opened his mouth and said “Truly I understand God shows no partiality”’ (Acts 10:34)

There are obviously many figures in history that didn’t follow these teachings. The Crusaders killed thousands of Muslims in the name of Christianity, and in many US states there was the Jim Crow Laws (segregation) which separated different races, and many Christians defended these
