Answer 1

ISLAM

Edit: It's true

Answer 2

i'd say Hinduism or Buddhism. i will communicate extra for Hinduism on condition that i'm Hindu. Hindus have not have been given any penalty for apostasy, and those wishing to return to Hinduism are welcomed. Hindus admire all faiths, it truly is evidenced by the shown fact that India has maximum of religions and little or no inner conflict. Hindus have faith strongly interior the thought of nonviolence and in karma, the two one in each of which might make a contribution strongly to human beings performing extra effective. truly some the failings i discussed for Hinduism would additionally prepare to Buddhism. in actuality, all religions are meant to be tolerant and non violent, yet from time to time there's a organic force to unfold the religion and for some, which potential putting down different faiths in want of their own (a minimum of that's what i'd guess). this would not prepare to all ingredients of faiths that are wide-unfold for energetic proselytizing, purely some. No faith preaches violence, that is going against basic ethical fiber, yet truly some lack of know-how, misinterpretation, and verbal substitute finally ends up interior the religious conflicts all of us understand immediately.

Answer 3

I don't know if any of the basic religions are particularly "tolerant." Each has it's basic tenets that MUST be followed to be a true believer. However, I think there are sects within the basic religions that are more tolerant than others. Christian Science, for example, does not believe in sin or the devil-rather that we are purely spiritual, created in the image of a loving God, and that sin, disease, death and hell do not truly exist.
Point being that we can generalize about each "basic" religion (Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, etc.) but the the level of tolerance within each varies greatly with each "sect."

Answer 4

Probably shinto; it's virtually the only religion I know of that isn't based on what is called religious exclusivism,i.e. the idea that there is only One True Religion and all else is fraud. Shintoists are free to practice Buddhism,Christianity,whatever else they want,frankly. I've meant shintoists who feel that almost all sacred texts - the bible,the bhagavad gita,the zend-avesta,etc. - contain great wisdom from divine sources. Definately the idea of exclusivism is quite alien to their sensibility. It was very frustrating for Buddhist missionaries in the 7th century that the Japanese didn't feel that embracing Buddhism had to involve giving up shinto,and similarly today with christian missionaries. They are very open to the teachings of christ - but they don't actually convert per se. They just add the bible on to all the other sacred books they find rewarding.

Answer 5

First of all Atheism is NOT a religion! For atheism to be a "religion" would be contradictory to what an atheist is. Atheists are far from "tolerant" they get just as annoyed with religious people as any other person.

I'm personally agnostic but from my point of view I believe that Buddhism is the most tolerant religion.

Answer 6

Ba'hai was an attempt to make a religion based on all other religions being right, so that'd be my first one. Buddhism is a close second. And, I'd say Judaism next, but that's just because most of its adherents seem pretty accepting of other faiths...

Answer 7

Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism and Jainism

Answer 8

Hinduism

Answer 9

I think you have to get a little more specific. You find tolerance and intolerance among all religions. Any difference is an excuse for intolerance among the intolerant.

Answer 10

Maybe Unitarian Universalists? Although, I'm not quite sure it amount to a religion as there is no set of basic beliefs that all UU's subscribe to. I'm not sure which is the most tolerant. I do know, however, that the 11th article of faith in my church states: "We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may."

That's pretty tolerant, aint it? I don't care if a person worships a rock or doesn't worship anything as long as they don't infringe on my right to worship as I please.

Answer 11

I would say Buddhism, Wicca, and most branches of paganism.

Christian branches: Quakers, Unitarians, some Methodists
