ABSTRACT
John Locke’s tolerance theory involves the core issue of the relationship between reason and belief in the philosophy of religion. However, there is always controversy over whether the scope of adaptation of this theory is within a religion, between religions, or in a broader field. Considering that the overall moral approach of Locke’s philosophy requires the workmanship argument as a defense, and examining it from this point of view, it can be found that Locke’s efforts to transcend Creationism with this argument have resulted in a successful breakthrough, which makes tolerance not only a religion topic, but also a social principle.
