There is no such a word or thing as discrimination against other religions. ....Please allow me to enlighten you to a FACT OF LIFE......Ravi Zacharias, in his book Jesus Among Other Gods, gives insight into the differences between Jesus and founders of other world religions: "At the heart of every major religion is a leading exponent. As the exposition is studied, something very significant emerges. There comes a bifurcation, or a distinction, between the person and the teaching—Mohammed, to the Koran. Buddha, to the Noble Path. Krishna, to his philosophizing. Zoroaster, to his ethics.
"Whatever we may make of their claims, one reality is inescapable. They are teachers who point to their teaching or show some particular way. In all of these, there emerges an instruction, a way of living ... It is Zoroaster to whom you listen. It is not Buddha who delivers you; it is his Noble Truths that instruct you. It is not Mohammed who transforms you; it is the beauty of the Koran that woos you.
"By contrast, Jesus did not only teach or expound His message. He was identical with His message . . . He did not just proclaim the truth. He said, 'I am the truth.' He did not just show a way. He said, 'I am the way.' He did not just open up vistas. He said, 'I am the door.''I am the Good Shepherd.' 'I am the resurrection and the life.''I am the I AM'" (2000, p. 89).
Jesus did not offer bread to nourish the soul, He said He is the Bread. Jesus wasn't just a teacher of a superior ethic, He was the Way. Jesus didn't just promise eternal life, He said, "I am the resurrection and the life" (John 11:25).
What becomes clear is that only Jesus is the true Revealer of the true God. There could be no escaping what people saw. God revealed Himself in such a manner that there is no easy way out for any of us. We have to face it squarely—that Jesus was who He said He was and had been sent here by His Father.
There is no such thing as "many roads that lead to God." Jesus declared: "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me" (John 14:6). That is why Peter could courageously proclaim: "There is no salvation through anyone else; in all the world no other name has been granted to mankind by which we can be saved" (Acts 4:12, REB).

The word Bigot usually refers to someone who is prejudiced and intolerant about other people's lifetstyle, so I think that is probably the appropriate term used to describe someone who discriminates other religions.

Predominately maximum religions gyrate round bolstering the socioeconomic status of adult men. this is fairly demeaning that a faith would attempt to instill a self-denigrating high quality in lady basically to cater to adult men appeals. Religions all have classical and tribal ancestors in which there social structure become built. lady were considered as equipment and products. adult men being vicious and inebriated on bravado claimed society as there own. Albeit it will be merciless it truly is only a perpetuated concept that has survived by irrational establishments that proceed to praise such traits. various adult men have a prefer to regulate and are fairly aggressive. nicely in relations to archaic cases this would unanimously resound as real. some people value skill a touch to a lot that they implement a chaste device basically to off stability equality.

Like racism and sexism, discrimination against religion stems from ignorance. I would call them ignorant fools.

Don't confuse the too. You do not choose your race but you choose your faith. There can not be two truths. There can not be 2+2=4 and 2+2=5 in the same class. You can't have different Gods existing, there can only be one.

If you are religious and you discriminate against other religions, I guess that would make you irrational. If you are not religious and discriminate equally, that would make you rational.

An intolerant religious person... AKA, Religous bigot.
“To know a person's religion we need not listen to his profession of faith but must find his brand of intolerance.” -- Eric Hoffer,
“All three of our major religions -- Christianity, Islam and Judaism -- have a hateful idea at the very core. That idea is Exclusion: the "othering," if you like, of the unredeemed.” -- Matthew Parris

I don't think there's an actual word for that specific definition but ethnocentrism is the closest.
Ethnocentrism:
characterized by or based on the attitude that one's own group is superior.
