Have to disagree here. There are and were many religions that accept the existence of gods of other religions. They can absolutely exist next to each other. Those religions that seek to spread through persuasion or violence are the outliers.
Absurd.
There are thousands of religions worldwide. If more had the urge to spread, we'd see a higher diversity amongst the larger ones.
You do realize many of the religious texts have passages that say "you can't have any other religion than this one" right? The Bible has it, the Quran has it. Not sure about the Torah, but wouldn't surprise me if it did have it. And those are the top three Abrahamic religions. Indian religions: I know Hinduism hates Islam. Buddhism is probably the only one that fits your claim, so congrats. Your claim is mostly wrong though.
There are a lot more religions than these five. Obviously I don't mean Islam and Christianity. Hindus, as far as I know, don't reject Islam because if theological, but because of historical reasons.
Of course I don't know about every single one, but I'm pretty sure there is a reason Islam and Christianity spread so much while thousands of other religions didn't. Non-missionary religions most probably don't have any negative claims about other religions, because that only makes sense if they want to expand.
I mean... Hindus do reject Islam for theological reasons... Hinduism is not theologically compatible with Islam.
