It's difficult at best to answer questions regarding Christianity in general when modern professing Christianity boasts literally hundreds of denominations, many of which exist on the premise of their own carnal minded ideas, instead of following the Bible.
Many of them, in their attempts to find acceptance in their communities, compromise biblical commands for political correctness and welcome any and all religious beliefs, practices and gods into their fold.
Others are not so "tolerant."
The word "tolerant," on the other hand, is found nowhere in the Bible. Nor is the word, "compromise." The word, "Christianity" is nowhere in The Bible, although the singular, "Christian" and plural, "Christians" is. And we can't be certain that they weren't coined by people in the beginning as an expression of derogation.
"...if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed..." (I Peter 4:16).
To answer the question from the Bible, therefore, instead of trying to get into the heads of hundreds of manmade denominations...
"...Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the Commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus." (Rev.14:12)
Many denominations of professing Christians don't advocate BOTH of these things; having faith in Christ AND keeping His Commandments. Many of them teach their flocks that the Commandments are "nailed to the cross," when it's really talking about the "sacrificial laws"... and they ignorantly accept the contradiction with the above passage.
Nevertheless... the Bible commands men to keep the Commandments - the very first of which is: "Thou shalt have no other gods before Me."
It's not a matter of personal preference, compromise or tolerance on the part of the True Christian... it's a matter of "obedience to the voice of God."
God will not compromise nor tolerate any other gods before Him.
"Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, and serve Him, and shalt swear by His name. Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are round about you; (For the Lord thy God is a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the Lord thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth... ye shall diligently keep the Commandments of the Lord your God, and His testimonies, and His statutes, which He hath commanded thee. And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of the Lord: THAT IT MAY BE WELL WITH THEE..." (Deut.6:13-18).
Obeying God these days is a very unpopular and dangerous business. That's why the toleration of Jesus' name is becoming more and more unbearable by those who advocate religious tolerance.
"Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for MY NAME'S SAKE." (Matt.24:9)
So, it depends on which brand of Christian you're talking to, whether they are opposed to other religions. Many aren't opposed to it... and a few obey the Lord their God.
