Tolerance is a basic value of our democracies, when it applies to life attitudes and to symbolic interpretations of our experience. However, usually there is no tolerance about statements of fact offered without scientific basis or from assumptions that proved to be false. Religions have a symbolic and poetic dimension which is not only tolerable, but even also fruitful for the interpretation of our life, but they also tend to present themselves as explanations of facts in competition with scientific explanations. It can be argued whether complete tolerance of this second use of religious ideology should be encouraged.
