Tolerance can be an engineering term for when something has to be made within certain specifications. It can be a social and cultural term meaning to allow people with views different to your own to voice those views. Religious tolerance is to allow people that believe in a god to worship that god in the manner they choose. It also allows people to have no belief and allow that also.
Tolerance basically means accuracy of an apparatus. For example, a meter rule(ruler) has an accuracy/ tolerance of 1 millimeter.
There are many examples of this. They include: when a crime is illegal it is also immoral, saying quotes from religious books to back your point, and believing what is told by someone of importance.

The school's administrators have no tolerance for bad behavior by students. Ballet schools have no tolerance for silly games and jokes. Pennsylvania was one early colony that adopted a policy of religious tolerance.

It might be a strange answer but some religious groups! Some of the powers-that-be felt that excessive religious tolerance was a liability and angled off against any even potentially interfaith youth groups, for example the Y.M.C.A. They may have extended this to the Girl Scouts when it was in its early days.
