&gt; Never knew you could be &quot;racist&quot; against a religion.<p>Bigotry against a cultural identity really isn&#x27;t all that substantially different when the basis of the cultural identity is &quot;race&quot; or &quot;religion&quot;, and bigotry against a race or ethnicity can often manifest in bigotry against other cultural identities that are correlated with that race or ethnicity, such as religion.<p>So, bigotry against a particular can both be a manifestation of racism, as well as being a thing substantially similar to racism independently of whether it is a manifestation of racism.
