Probably not, although I'll give you that it's easier for me to say because I'm not in that position. But it only goes as far as tolerance of other religions - I would NOT be okay with a government/society that promotes only one religion and forbids practise of other religions.

ETA: I had a very MILD chance to be in that position - I had a 3rd grade teacher that was Jewish, and she brought a Dreidel, Hanukiah, and we learned the songs "Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel" and "Chanukah, Oh Chanukah". I thought it was pretty cool, and didn't feel at all threatened as a Christian.
