Most religious texts don’t admit a consistent reading, so the degree to which live-and-let-live applies depends almost entirely on interpretation and culture, and very little on what the text actually says. For example, most real-world Christians and Muslims are highly tolerant of unbelievers in their everyday lives, but that is not what their books say.
