"Tolerance" fits what was needed to keep English governance afloat when religious strife caused chaos. You're bearing the burden of putting up with heretics and apostates whom you tolerate. Also "shut up and follow the law" for those being tolerated. Nobody had to like it. So there's that negativity.
