Tolerance

Tolerance refers to the attitude and practice of accepting views that differ from one's own. It is often used in the context of allowing those with minority opinions to express their views, even if they go against the accepted standards established by the majority.

One of the definitions of tolerance is "The capacity for or the practice of recognizing and respecting the beliefs or practices of others."

The concept of tolerance often applies to areas of politics, cultural differences, or religious practices.

Americans believe in free speech, but to be tolerant you should respect other people's beliefs. You can still disagree with someone's beliefs or practices.

All religions and their traditions deserve to be examined, but there is a difference between critique and slander. And certainly there is a difference between insightful observations and naive comments."
