THE UNITY OF RELIGION AND RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE
On the other hand, if we recognize that there are major differences between religions and allow for freedom in human religious inquiry, then such differences need not become a problem. The clash of ideas in the pursuit of Spiritual Truth, like the clash of ideas in science or philosophy, does not have to become a factor of social conflict, nor do we have to try to stifle it is order to maintain social harmony, which is only to suppress  our own intelligence.

What brings about real tolerance is allowing different views to exist, not pretending that such differences do not exist. The point is that society should tolerate all religions even if all religions are not one and even if some religions are wrong, and that in society we ourselves should tolerate all regions even if we individually may not agree with them and may oppose them intellectually. What cannot be tolerated is  violence used to promote a particular belief, which destroys all tolerance.
