The Greek world had a fairly uniform religion and set of gods. The Persian Empire, stretching from Egypt to central Asia, covered a wide variety of peoples and religions, and it was not the Persian policy to incite religious revolts when they were trying to establish a peaceful and prosperous empire.
Because the policy led to cultural diversity in the empire.

Cyrus did not have a policy of assimilation - the Persian Empire allowed its component peoples to retain their local governance, customs and cultures, supervised by provincial and imperial government.
Oh, dude, Cyrus and Darius were like the dynamic duo of the Persian Empire. Cyrus was all about expanding the empire through military conquests, while Darius was more into organization and creating a system of provinces and satraps to keep things in check. So, like, Cyrus brought the muscle and Darius brought the brains, and together they made the Persian Empire one heck of a powerhouse.
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.
The Achaaemenid Empire.

Rome had a policy of tolerance toward most of the religions or forms of worship in the empire.
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.
True. Persian kings allowed conquered people to keep their own religions, as long as they paid tribute to the Persian king and acknowledged his authority. This policy of religious tolerance helped the Persian Empire maintain power over its vast territory.
Because the policy led to cultural diversity in the empire.
A natural pert of the Greek culture was their religion. The Persians ruled over a large variety of peoples with different religious culture, and it would have been stupid to try to impose one religion on them. The Persians concentrated on security and prosperity, leaving the different people to follow their own beliefs.

Cyrus the Great, founder of the Achaemenid Empire, is known for his wisdom and compassion. He is credited with establishing a policy of religious and cultural tolerance towards his subjects, as well as allowing the Jews to return to their homeland from exile in Babylon.

Good Policy (:
