How do religious tolerance and religious freedom affect foreign policy? How are they institutionalized across the signatories of the Abraham Accords? This article examines foreign policy agenda setting of religious tolerance in the United States, Israel, and the United Arab Emirates. In the first section, the article analyzes discursive representations of the common roots of the three monotheistic religions and identifies recurrent tropes that highlight idealistic undertones in the Abraham Accords Declaration. In the following section, it critically examines the nexus between domestic and international politics and assesses the compatibility between social and public policy and foreign-policy agenda setting centered on interfaith diplomacy and dialogue. While this article acknowledges Donald Trump's and previous US presidents’ contributions to the advancement of international religious freedom, it argues that Trump's conflicting standards and selective approaches to foreign policy and human rights preceding the agreement have failed to promote constructive relations for furthering faith-based diplomacy. This article suggests that while the United States and the UAE laid the groundwork for promoting religious freedom and tolerance leading up to the Abraham Accords, projecting a coherent foreign-policy narrative across these contexts is hampered by institutional, legal, and political considerations.

亚伯拉罕协议和宗教宽容：基于信仰的外交政策议程设置的三个故事

宗教宽容和宗教自由如何影响外交政策？他们如何在亚伯拉罕协议的签署国中制度化？本文考察了美国、以色列和阿拉伯联合酋长国宗教宽容的外交政策议程设置。在第一部分，文章分析了三种一神论宗教的共同根源的话语表述，并确定了反复出现的比喻，这些比喻突出了亚伯拉罕协议宣言中的理想主义色彩。在下一节中，它批判性地考察了国内和国际政治之间的关系，并评估了社会和公共政策与以宗教间外交和对话为中心的外交政策议程设置之间的兼容性。虽然这篇文章承认唐纳德特朗普 和前任美国总统对促进国际宗教自由的贡献，它认为特朗普在协议之前对外交政策和人权的相互冲突的标准和选择性方法未能促进建设性关系，以促进基于信仰的外交。本文表明，虽然美国和阿联酋为促进宗教自由和宽容奠定了基础，导致亚伯拉罕协议，但在这些背景下投射连贯的外交政策叙述受到体制、法律和政治考虑的阻碍。协议之前对外交政策和人权的相互冲突的标准和选择性方法未能促进建设性关系，以促进基于信仰的外交。本文表明，虽然美国和阿联酋为促进宗教自由和宽容奠定了基础，导致亚伯拉罕协议，但在这些背景下投射连贯的外交政策叙述受到体制、法律和政治考虑的阻碍。协议之前对外交政策和人权的相互冲突的标准和选择性方法未能促进建设性关系，以促进基于信仰的外交。本文表明，虽然美国和阿联酋为促进宗教自由和宽容奠定了基础，导致亚伯拉罕协议，但在这些背景下投射连贯的外交政策叙述受到体制、法律和政治考虑的阻碍。
