Religism

Categorism focused on a categorization of people by religion and belief. (In Swedish: religism)

Note that this is a matter of prejudice, bigotry and discrimination against people who happen to belong or not belong to a certain religion or other belief. NOT a matter of disagreeing with claims done in the name of a certain religion or other belief.

Often targeting a specific group such as Muslims, Atheists or Christians.

Examples of facets expressed through this focus

• Conspirationalism: When people are bigoted against a certain religion (usually Judaism or Islam), they may view some religious people gathering together (for prayer, or simply for a regular dinner) as if it was a part of some sinister plot.
