tolerationist
Believer in acceptance
A tolerationist advocates for religious or political tolerance—the principle that differing beliefs should be permitted rather than suppressed.
The term appears mainly in historical contexts, describing those who opposed persecution of religious minorities or dissenting views: The tolerationists argued against enforcing religious conformity.
The stance emphasizes coexistence over compelled uniformity.
