The Tolerance Conundrum

I've heard a lot about tolerance in the last year or so. From everyone - not just from one group but from church members, celebrities, politicians, etc. My question is: What is tolerance? For example, if someone tells you they are a practicing Buddhist are you supposed to say "Good for you" and move on? Or are you supposed to at least try to share Christ with them? Which is technically not tolerating anything but instead spreading the Word of God as we were told to do.
I'm all for the latter and it's the one I'm definitely going to choose but I was just wondering.
