Religious toleration is people allowing other people to think or practice other religions and beliefs.
When someone says they’re a theist and believe in something that you may think is absurd or crazy, you take them seriously anyway.
When someone says that they have to observe the Sabbath and will be unavailable, you take them seriously.
When someone politely apologizes that they can’t do something because it’s against their religious beliefs, with no harm to the other person, you accept their apology, realize they don’t mean to hurt you, and move on. (I’m excluding the case where this is being done because of discrimination or nefariousness).
When someone asks to eat in a restaurant that accords with their religion’s dietary laws, and this doesn’t negatively affect you, you go there instead of a different restaurant.
You can take "in fact" out of the sentence to help with determine what type of sentence it is because it's a prepositional phrase. This leaves us with "Only a small percentage of Southern Africa is desert" which is a simple sentence.
