"Someone can be sure of an absolute truth, but the truth is such that it won't cause any harm, or they may be sure of some absolute truth but still be tolerant of those who disagree"

That is so. I was thinking of those who have "certainty" in matters that truly matter. For instance, I know for a fact that atheists are infidels and deserve death; and Jews are spawn of Satan and ought to be driven to the sea; and black people do not have souls; and those who do not follow (fill in the blank) are doomed to eternal torture so there is no point in respecting rights for them here...
