The Bahá'í Faith recognizes the unity of God and of His
Prophets, upholds the principle of an unfettered search after truth, condemns
all forms of superstition and prejudice, teaches that the fundamental purpose
of religion is to promote concord and harmony, that it must go hand-in-hand
with science, and that it constitutes the sole and ultimate basis of a
peaceful, an ordered and progressive society.
