Those certain aspects which cause intolerance, would need to be changed. Nothing more.
Nothing more? You’re handwaving away massive changes needed to many groups including erasing or altering their culture or identity. I’ll keep playing your game though.
Okay, so here’s a statement from a Muslim scholar on the doctrine in the Qurʾān:
God is one and unique; he has no partner and no equal. Trinitarianism, the Christian belief that God is three persons in one substance, is vigorously repudiated.
So one side believes in one god, while the other believes in three persons in one substance.
Both have extreme groups within each religion that believe only their way is correct, and will use violence when needed to prove it. Which one gets changed, and who decides who gets their belief system altered so they aren’t intolerant?
You’re still thinking in very small human scales. Culture isn’t fixed. All cultures are dynamic. They rise, change, change again, and disappear, throughout the ages. 500 years ago the landscape of various Christian and Muslim cultures were vastly different than they are now. An immortal Artificial Super Intelligence could spend centuries, hundreds of generations or more, subtly tweaking all the various cultures toward a more harmonious coexistence.
I read enough speculative sci-fi to know the idea you’re talking about.

You’re saying that like its a good thing. For all of humanities faults, I’ll take them over humanity being controlled by something else. R. Daneel Olivaw tried and it wasn’t a great ride for humanity.

“Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” – Benjamin Franklin
And if you don’t have to give up liberty?
It’s a false dichotomy to think it’s only either or.
No need to be coy. If you have the answer (that you haven’t already shared) then don’t let me stop you. Explain.
Answer to what? The question I asked you? I don’t have an answer.
Safety without giving up liberty just seems fine to me.
