For me as a Hindu it seems absurd to discuss faith at all, when I have none. Most of the time, people of faith have tried to get me to first get me to admit that I too have a faith - different maybe, then push me into coming up with parallels or counterparts in my "faith" to their icons, and then when neither succeeds bamboozle me into owning up that all I have are some fake icons. Both the current Pope and his predecessor have made it clear that this is what inter-faith dialogue is all about.</p> What is this idea of “inter-faith” dialogue?

You would be happy to know that on this side of the pond, the US Supreme Court has interpreted the US Constitution to guarantee a comfort zone for all kids in the United States.
