Religious diversity is the belief that all true religions are rooted in the same fundamental truths but express themselves in diverse ways. In its strongest sense, religious diversity holds that no single religion can claim a monopoly on absolute truth. Given the diverse nature of human beings, no single religious form can completely answer the needs of all mankind. G-d has chosen to create a diversity of approaches to the divine as symbolized by the [[Seventy nations|Seventy Nations]] or [[Seventy Paths]].
Religious pluralism is a set of non-Noahide religious worldviews which are similar to religious diversity, but they does not believe in a common foundation for all proper faiths. It holds that one's religion is not the sole and exclusive source of truth, and thus recognizes that some level of truth and value exists in at least some other religions. As such, religious pluralism goes beyond religious tolerance, which is the condition of peaceful existence between adherents of different religions or religious denominations.
Within the Jewish community, there is a shared common history, a shared language of prayer and study, a shared Bible and a shared set of [[rabbinic literature]], thus often allowing for Jews of significantly different worldviews to nonetheless recognize some level of common values and goals. In comparison with other religions this has been called [[Intra-religious pluralism]] although in fact it is a form of [[religious diversity]].
