Abstract

Religion is the direct source of issues such as proselytising, secularism and secularity. Thus,understanding relations between religions in ancient times will provide the basis ofknowledge necessary for an introduction to the religious intolerance, professed and practicedespecially by Western religions.Therefore, the religious liberty that is today preached andsought for through the protective elements of Human Rights is the direct consequence of ahistorical evolution of religion itself, as well as of its influence in the lives of people and ofthe power struggle between the State and the Church. Thus, tolerance is the result of aconstruction by international organisms in defense of the rights of man, or Human Rights.
