	singapore hotels - singapore temples, singapore churches and singapore mosques
		To underscore the racial and cultural diversity that is Singapore and its tolerance for diversity of religion one needs to look no further than the multitude of Churches, Mosques, Shrines, Synagogues and Temples existing on this tiny island / state - all in relative proximity and harmony.
		For westerners who have not yet had the opportunity to see many of the world's largest faiths, Singapore offers an unique opportunity to peek inside many differing places of worship and - hopefully - come away with a greater appreciation for other's beliefs.
		Whilst there are certainly many other buildings not mentioned here (which arguably could provide more insight into the day to day faith) these churches, mosques temples mentioned here are generally visited for their aesthetic beauty or an interesting historical note.
