Great! Let's make up a word. What'bout "credophobic", from "credos" (set of beliefs or doctrine, hence "creed") adn "phobia" (rejection). "Credophobia" the malady, "credophobic" the person who discriminates others on grounds of religion or the attitude of discrimination.
Or else, we might want to stick to the Greek and then come up with something like "Doxism," form "doxia" (doctrine). "Doxims" the "racism", and "doxist" the "racist,"
What do you think?
Or put linguistic games and ethymologies aside and just fck that hoodlum off!

against another religion......hard to say. By Christ's standards (you can disagree if you want) religion isn't good in general. Religion is basically just following the rules of a "spiritual group" or "obeying" God for reasons such as inferiority (big vs small, powerful vs weak), misinterpretation, self-righteousness, preferences in doctrine, etc.

Christ came to offer something different. He wanted us to come to have a relationship with God, as a friend/child/ambassador/servant/priest/king/etc all in one.

and if you discriminate against all "religion", you're either an arrogant theist, or an atheist.

I'm guessing based on context you're talking about Racism and you can use bigot to describe someone who discriminates against someone else for any differences that person finds that s/he perceives as different from him/herself. You could also say that person is being religiocentric.

A person who discriminates against another religion is JUDGING that religion. God tells us not to judge or we will be judged.

In Matthew 7:2 Jesus puts it this way:

1 Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
The Holy Bible : King James Version. 1995 . Logos Research Systems, Inc.: Oak Harbor, WA

The dictionary says about judge this way:

Main Entry:1judge
Pronunciation:*j*j
Function:verb
Inflected Form:judged ; judg£ing
Etymology:Middle English juggen, from Anglo-French juger, from Latin judicare, from judic-, judex judge, from jus right, law + dicere to decide, say — more at JUST, DICTION
Date:13th century

transitive verb
1 : to form an opinion about through careful weighing of evidence and testing of premises
2 : to sit in judgment on : TRY
3 : to determine or pronounce after inquiry and deliberation
4 : GOVERN, RULE — used of a Hebrew tribal leader
5 : to form an estimate or evaluation of; especially : to form a negative opinion about *shouldn't judge him because of his accent*
6 : to hold as an opinion : GUESS, THINK *I judge she knew what she was doing*
intransitive verb
1 : to form an opinion
2 : to decide as a judge
synonyms see INFER
–judg£er noun

God bless you :)

Intolerance. It comes from childhood, when we want to be strong and on the "right" side. We say things like "my dad is bigger than your dad," Each persons religious journey is personal, and it can be right if you are true to yourself, and it is not any longer necessary when an adult, to have the support of others to prove you are true to your spirituality. When we discriminate against others religions, we are denying them what we must have for ourselves, the freedom to find Truth in our lives. To say that there is only one way to the Truth is like saying everyone on the planet Earth must live in the mountains to live a spiritual life, or that only people with white skin are capable of seeing the Truth. It is called intolerance to deny others their beliefs, and is one of the major sources of conflict in the history of mankind.

You mean "racist?"

Discrimination against another religion may be cruel, but it may also be wisdom, depending upon your own faith.

it's an opinion.

It's discrimination when they try to take your kids away, make laws against you, try to beat you up, etc..
