Going solely from my own experience, I think that Buddhists are the most tolerant. I asked a Buddhist priest about this and he told me that you could continue to believe whatever you currently believe and still be Buddhist.
Among the most intolerant, I would have to include the Muslims. Not many religions actively kill their members for joining another religion. Christians have done that sort of nonsense in the past but I'm not aware of any that currently believe that way.
To expand, at least to Muslims, Jews and Christians are still recognized as viable religions (just not enlightened yet.)
Among the Christian religions, I know that to a Jehovah's Witness, if you aren't one of them, you're headed to the fire.
Of course, all humans have the capability of fanaticism, religious or not.
