religious prejudice
Definition
- Religious prejudice is the belief that an individual's religion is superior to the religions of others; this belief frequently combines with the conviction that adherents of “inferior” religions constitute a threat. Enacted as speech or behavioral patterns, religious prejudice is manifest in legal codes, organizational policies, the management of social networks, legislative agendas, the enforcement of manners, and in other ways, including some Americans’ attitudes toward non-Americans.
