"Religious toleration" may imply reluctant or paternal acceptance of 'wrong' faiths, but I am sure the intention of this question refers to religious tolerance. This occurs when the followers of a religion, and even the leaders of religion, accept that other faiths are equally valid, even if they do not believe in the tenets of those faiths.

Religious tolerance exists when a Taoist priest explains his religion by starting, "We believe ...", rather than simply asserting a belief as if undisputed truth, as some others do.

Religious tolerance exists when religious leaders accept the beliefs of others and do not seek to change the laws of the land to suit their own beliefs.

And an ancient example of religious tolerance surely is when the pagan Roman Emperor, and therefore chief priest of the pagan faith, Severus Alexander (222-235 CE), placed the statues of Abraham and of Christ in his domestic chapel as a mark of respect for two minority religions.
