A belief system which claims tolerance, but is itself a doctrine of absolute belief that all religions are ultimately equal, despite that this violates the law of non-contradiction. (Ironically, many people who espouse the COEXIST dogma also try to use the law of non-contradiction, by citing alleged contradictions in books such as the Quran or the Bible.)
Typically, believers in COEXIST will attempt to impose this belief on any systems which declare contrary absolute doctrine, such as conservative Christians and Muslims. Also, most COEXIST believers do not consciously realize the illogic and self-contradiction in an absolute belief which declares there are no absolute beliefs.

A: You have a COEXIST bumper sticker?
B: Yeah, I don't think any religion has an exclusive claim to the truth.
A: But isn't that itself an exclusive claim that only that belief is true?
