This response may surprise you, but Christianity meets the criteria
you present.  Jesus tells us not to tolerate, but to LOVE others.
Likewise, we are not to try to force our beliefs upon others, we are
to merely SHARE the good news (that we don't have to die - Jesus died
for us) with those who have not heard and let the Holy Spirit do the 
rest.  Unfortunately, in Christianity there is a tremendous disparity 
between theory and practice, perhaps more so than in any other religion.  
Fortunately, Christianity is not based upon Christians but upon Christ.
