Unlike race, gender, sexual orientation or age, people have some ability to control which ideologies they will align themselves with (although the childhood brainwashing can make that extremely difficult, particularly if your country and family are monolithic.) I find it ethical to be prejudiced against those who believe a woman should be "kept in her place" by hitting her, and I find it ethical to be prejudiced against those who believe in a vicious god or gods.
Before you clap your hands over my discrimination against various Muslim denominations, be aware that I think Southern Baptists, Pentacostols and Southern Methodists are just as bad and deserve to be scorned.
If any Western religion is more decent than the others, it is obviously Judaism. They have traditionally been the victims of the other two. And Buddhism is the most decent of all.
