The Importance of Reason in the Baha'i Faith

Every human being is seen as equal before God and as being created in his image. This means that any ideology or idea that separates human beings like racism or nationalism is strongly rejected in the Baha'i faith. One of the goals of Baha'u'llah and his successors was to create a kind of new world order in which everyone lived as equal members of a kind of world nation or world community. The Baha'is emphasize the harmony between science and religion.
