Ancient Athens exhibited a degree of religious tolerance, allowing various cults and practices to coexist alongside the dominant worship of the Olympian gods. While citizens were generally expected to participate in state-sanctioned religious activities, the presence of foreign gods and rituals was often accommodated, especially in the context of trade and cultural exchange. However, there were limits to this tolerance; certain beliefs, such as those that threatened civic unity or undermined traditional practices, could be met with suspicion or persecution. Overall, while Athens was relatively open to religious diversity, it maintained a strong connection between religion and civic identity.

I mean, by 'accept' i do not share the belief, nor admire it in anyway, but rather, i accept the person, and accept their right to believe as they wish.
