Persian policy of tolerance is acceptance of the people the Persians conquered.
Therefore it grew so much because it did not matter if they conquered or not, it wasn't going to change the people's lifestyle in any way. They respected the customs of the diverse groups in their empire.
EXAMPLE: the culture they conquered would not have to change their religious views.

Why was the official policy of religious tolerance more crucial to the stability of the Persian Empire than it was to the Greek civilization?
The Persian Empire was a massive empire where peoples under Persian governance had numerous different major religions, such as Zoroastrianism, Judaism, the Hellenic Pantheon, the Levantine Pantheon, the Ancient Egyptian Pantheon, and the Mesopotamian Pantheon. By contrast, all of the Greek city states believed in the same Hellenic Pantheon and so no tolerance of other religions was necessary for societal stability.

This is for you to decide. Did repression work? Why did Galerius, who was the main instigator of Diocletian's Great Persecution, decreed the end of this persecution seven years later? Why did he do so for peace and security in the empire? Why was it only the Christian religion which was persecuted? What were the benefits of the Romans' policy of tolerance of the religions of the conquered peoples? Note that Christianity was not always persecuted. There were periods of tolerance and periods of persecution.

How did the roman government express religious tolerance?
Religious tolerance was part of a wider Roman policy of tolerance towards the conquered peoples. It was more a matter of practical policy, rather than one of expression of anything. Tolerance was essential to keep the empire united, avoiding rebellions and reducing administrative costs. The Romans tolerated the religions and customs of the conquered peoples. They allowed them to continue to worship their religions, follow their customs and use their customary laws at the local level. They also let the local ruling classes run most of the local affairs. The role of the governors of the provinces (conquered territories) was restricted to defence and maintenance of the legions stationed in the provinces, tax collection, public works and the arbitration of disputes the locals could not resolve by themselves. This policy had two advantages: it reduced the administrative load of the provincial governors and it facilitated the integration of the locals into the ideology and the economy of the empire. A less tolerant policy would have led to too many rebellions and would have threatened the stability of the empire.
