toleration
In some. countries, where religion is established by 1aw, cer-tain sects who do not agree with the established religion are nevertheless permitted to exist, and this permission is called toleration. Those are per-mitted and allowed to remain rather as a matter of favor than a matter of right.
2. In the United States, there is no such a thing as toleration, all men have an equal right to worship God according to the dictates of their own consciences. See Christianity; Conscience; Religious test.
