SP123, though I understand what you are saying and I agree, the fact is that it is Christianity that is one of the least tolerant of religions. Hinduism is a lot more accepting of all other religions including Christianity and Islam.
You said:
I'm sure Jesus didn't teach that "my way is the only way, you'll go to hell if you don't follow my path."
a Unfortunately, Christians are adamant that this is what Jesus said. They will tell you that unless you go through Jesus's way YOU will go to hell. This is sad and unfortunate.

Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." (John 14:6)
Jesus claimed that He is the only way to heaven and that there is no other way that leads to heaven. No matter how hard anybody may try, if he/she wants to go to heaven he/she will have to go through Jesus. If you want to go to London from New York, you need a specific ticket to go to that particular place. But if you think, "I will go to airport and catch any flight", assuming that every flight is going to London, then you will never reach the place because you need to catch the specific flight which is going to London. In the same way if we want to go to heaven, we should determine our way. And Jesus said that He is the way… and that no one can go to the Father except through Him.
