I just want to point out, anti-theism is prejudice against theism. Theism and religion are not the same thing. You can be a theist without being religious. An example of this would be deism.

religionism
1.excessive religious ardour or zeal
2.extreme piety
**3.discrimination or prejudice on the basis of religion or religious beliefs.**
A prejudiced statement on the basis of religion would be considered "religionist" (used as an adjective, not a noun)

There really needs to be one. You can easily call something racist, but you can't casually interject with "That's religiously discriminatory" or anything like that.

Religion.
It is discriminatory by definition, as it segregates populations into "them & us" for no valid reason whatsoever.
How anyone could think that "my imaginary friend is better than your imaginary friend" is a valid reason to go to war is beyond me.

Persecution is the word you are looking for. If you treat a religion negatively the way a racist treats his target race, then you are persecuting them.
