Yes, the Byzantine Empire was a very tolerant society. It was so tolerant, that it even had a synagogue and a mosque in Constantinople, which was a shock for that period. Many Roman Catholic leaders in the West criticized Constantinople for being too lenient with Moslems and Jews, since the West did not grant religious freedom to these groups and, in fact, openly persecuted them. However, people of many races and religions lived in co-operation and peace in the Byzantine Empire.

What were non-Muslim religious communities within the Ottoman Empire called?

Millets. Non-Muslims who lived in the Ottoman Empire were called Dhimmi, or second-class citizens. They lacked a number of fundamental rights such as freedom of movement, freedom of settlement, access to all occupations, and additional taxation because they were Non-Muslim. Each Dhimmi group, like the Armenians, Greeks, Jews, and so forth were organized into Millets which were community representative groups. Each Millet would report to a centralized Millet representative in Istanbul who would have direct dealing with the Imperial Palace. This would allow the Millets to air their grievances, but was more often used as a method to control the Millets and make them less resistive to Ottoman Occupation.
