In theology, pluralism is sometimes referred to as the position that all religions are useful ways to reach God or salvation. In general, the orientalist movements expanded in the West maintain this position (like the supporters of Sai Baba or the members of the Hare Krishna movement, although the latter are weak pluralists, that is, they claim that their own version of religion is a faster way or cash). On the other hand, historically some fundamentalist doctrines have considered that pluralism is a relativization of one's beliefs, which is why they have structured their way of presenting the Faith, which can be misinterpreted as antipluralism. The major criticism in this regard is carried by the Christian denominations, especially the Catholic Church, with its attempts to expand the Faith through the sword or to purify it with the Inquisition, historical errors that led to a rethinking of its bases in the Council. Vatican II affirming that religious pluralism through ecumenism is a valid, conscious and updated response for movements of faith.
