A religion is not intolerant simply because they beleive they alone represent the singular true religion. As long as they acknowledge that all human beings are endowed by their creator with the freedom to choose right from wrong for themselves, and do not feel that they have the right or duty to compel others to follow their beliefs. A religion can believe that I am wrong, and as long as they leave me be, or at most simply express that opinion to me, and leave me to decide for myself whether they are correct, I would define as tolerant.

By your definition Fyron you are extremely intolerant yourself.
