religious unity
Shared spiritual accord
Religious unity refers to agreement or harmony among people of faith—whether within a single religion or across different traditions.
Within one faith, it means shared belief and practice: The council sought religious unity among the scattered congregations.
Between faiths, it suggests cooperation or mutual respect despite doctrinal differences: The interfaith service was a gesture of religious unity.
The term can describe an achieved state or an aspirational goal.
