It's not ever both. That is simply a truism. I know when I look now I see wickedness. In order to answer the question, we really need to get over the idea that we have unbound latitudinarian tolerance. No culture does.
Every single culture has restrictions.
For example, there are groups that want to offer child sacrifice. We don't permit that. There are groups that want to offer public sacrifices of animals today. Now in the Old Testament we had it, but Christian societies today forbid it. So we don't have tolerance for every group.
