It depends upon the context in which the word is used. Dictionaries simply define "heathen" as a pagan or anyone of a non-Abrahamic religion. However, "heathen" is most often used derogatorily, as can be seen if you check its synonyms.

No, it is the opposite because believing that may cause intolerance towards the people seen as inferior.

No. "Heathen" is basically an offensive word for someone who has different beliefs (or lack of beliefs).

Tolerance can be an engineering term for when something has to be made within certain specifications.

What is an example of religious toleration?

"Religious toleration" may imply reluctant or paternal acceptance of 'wrong' faiths, but I am sure the intention of this question refers to religious tolerance. This occurs when the followers of a religion, and even the leaders of religion, accept that other faiths are equally valid, even if they do not believe in the tenets of those faiths.Religious tolerance exists when a Taoist priest explains his religion by starting, "We believe ...", rather than simply asserting a belief as if undisputed truth, as some others do.Religious tolerance exists when religious leaders accept the beliefs of others and do not seek to change the laws of the land to suit their own beliefs.And an ancient example of religious tolerance surely is when the pagan Roman Emperor, and therefore chief priest of the pagan faith, Severus Alexander (222-235 CE), placed the statues of Abraham and of Christ in his domestic chapel as a mark of respect for two minority religions.

Who did not like Juliette Gordon Low?

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.
