Tolerance implies a gratuitous assumption of the inferiority of other faiths to one's own

Summary

This quote suggests that tolerance, in its essence, involves an unwarranted assumption that one's own religion or faith is superior to others. It implies that by practicing tolerance, individuals are still harboring a belief that their faith is better or more valid. In this sense, true tolerance would require a genuine acceptance and understanding that all faiths are equal and have value, without any underlying prejudice or sense of superiority.
