What is a religious moderate to you?

And what are the core tenets of religious moderation? I feel religious moderation includes coexistence with other belief systems and people who are different. It’s living your life based on your faith system but not forcing or coercing others into believing as you do. There is mutual respect and tolerance and acceptance of differences even within families and even though there may not be agreement with lifestyles or beliefs there is no mistreatment like bullying or harassment, persecution, or shunning. What do you think?

Having ideas like those which are non negociable seems incompatible with any idea of a religious moderate
