Religious Perfectionism and Its Relationship with Tolerance in Religious Training

Religious education is an important field of education the misunderstanding and malpractice of which may bring about great damage. Bagheri has addressed this damage in a discussion entitled "Damage and Health in Religious Education". An essential area of this pathology relates to the fundamental concept of religious perfectionism and its traumatic form; that is, the unrealistic perfectionism which is demonstrated and the state of health in this case is simplification. Employing philosophical method, this study has explored the inadequacy of the explanation of the simplification as the state of health and has made an attempt to provide a more appropriate explanation of the relationship between simplification and religious perfectionism. According to the results, the word unrealistic perfectionism causes problems which weaken the nature of perfectionism and the move towards a religious objective. Hence, the emergence of the issues mentioned above will be prevented by explaining the position of simplification as a puzzle-like concept between the two poles of ease and effective rigidity.
