Specific word for discrimination based on religion [duplicate]
Religious discrimination is the most widely use term, and there doesn't appear to a well accepted single-word term for this. Although religionism is most often described as a fervent religious zeal, it can also be used to describe religious discrimination:
- excessive religious ardour or zeal
- extreme piety
- discrimination or prejudice on the basis of religion or religious beliefs.
…according to Wiktionary at least—I'm unable to find another source for this usage.
On a side note, Wikipedia 's entry for religionism redirects to religious discrimination.
