RFV of this sense: "The belief that all entities from all religions are true and do exist." Aren't some of those entities mutually incompatible with other divine entities? Does this refer to an actual (rather schizophrenic) belief, or to a hypothetical one? Whilst it makes etymological sense, is this word ever used thus?

This contradiction as perceived is not necessarily so. It could be for example that both Yahweh and Allah exist, as well as Vishnu and Quetzalcoatl and Marduk and all the rest from all the faiths, and yet they are not 'incompatible' because their actual existence falls short of what their scriptures claim about them. Perhaps for example Yahweh is simply a desert-dwelling camel-God who has only managed to convince followers that he is a lone almighty. (note that even in the Biblical account, Yahweh must battle with other gods, who are treated as real (Baal, chiefly), and that Yahweh is never shown taking on, much less being able to defeat, Zeus or Odin or any of the Chinese or Indian or Ican or African or Native American gods.
