Many people like to say that Christians are bigots. This couldn't be farther from the truth. While there have been many bad people that say they are Christians, say Hitler, they all do something completely against the Bible, such as gassing Jews. Also, fun fact, Jesus and his apostles were all Jews. The lord God himself proclaimed Jews to be his chosen people. I don't think anyone who tries to exterminate Jews is very Christian.
So, back to the main point, Christians may be the most tolerant of all religions. “Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.”
1 John 4:11 NIV
http://bible.com/111/1jn.4.11.niv
This verse tells us that we should love everyone, regardless of their ideals or beliefs. So, to put it into modern terms, it tells us to be tolerant.

I'll never understand Christianity. If Jesus and his apostles were Jews and God thinks Jews as the "chosen people" then why aren't all Christains Jews? Wouldn't it make more sense to have to same mindset and religion as God in the flesh? Also, bwahahahahahaha!!! "Tolerance." Yeah, Christains are very tolerant. *rolls eyes* Why did the pilgrims come to America again? Why did the protestants fight with the cathics hundreds of years ago? Why do religious nuts hate science, Athiests, Muslims, and gays? On a more personal note, why did my Catholic great grandfather say I would go to hell because I was baptised in a Lutheran Church and disowned my mother? Please. "Tolerance." Looking back on any part of human history since the creation of Christianity proves otherwise.
