Persons who believe that Christianity is the only way to know God and receive salvation would tend toward a "low" score on this index, while persons who believe that most religions have at least part of the ultimate truth and that there are multiple paths to God would tend toward a "high" score on relativism. High relativism is similar to universalism, the view that all human beings will eventually receive salvation. (RLTVSM)
