Tolerance 2000 – a Booklet on Overcoming Hate Tolerance 2000 is a 104-page booklet made available on the internet (at www.tolerance2000.org) in a downloadable (PDF) format so that anyone, anywhere, can download it, photocopy it, staple it together and use it. It is a practical, reader-friendly booklet about overcoming religious bigotry and hatred, based on thousands of calls to a religious tolerance hotline in the United States. The booklet is offered for use to anyone and everyone as a tool to promote communication and mutual respect, and it is filled with ideas on how to overcome deep belief differences. The only request is that whoever down loads and uses the booklet give feedback (by e-mail or snail mail) of the results they have achieved with it. This booklet is our gift to the world. Hearing about families reconciled, relationships salvaged and greater respect for everyone's right to freedom of conscience, is an abundant return. Foundation for Religious Freedom USA
