The Romans were actually pretty open minded and tolerant towards other religions, but only if they did not cause any problems, probably such as trying to convert others, protesting, causing riots, etc.
Addition:
Religion was treated as a compact between Rome and the gods - if Romans gave the gods due honour, the gods would look after the interests of them and the city.
Their religion is best described as polytheism, ie many gods, each of whom had a special function covering a specific area of activity, ie Neptune the sea, Diana hunting etc; there was a high god, Jupiter who oversaw the gods.
The gods paralleled those of other peoples, and the Romans recognised without any rancour that Jupiter (Jan-pater = Janus the Father) was the same as the Greek god Zeus. An example of this recognition and tolerance was that when Pompey the Great captured Jerusalem, he immediately went up to the temple to pay his respects to the Jewish high god Jehovah. He was a bit puzzled when he peeped behind the curtain and there was no statue of the god there, however he made a sacrifice to him, accepting that Jupiter=Zeus=Jehovah, same god, different language.
Religious hate and wars came with the offshoots of Jehovah who later was claimed to be the only god, which was taken up by its offshoots Christianity and Islam with disastrous results, even to today.
