And does a Islam believe the same?
Is this not like religious racism

It is one of the worst ones, because it tries to force its beliefs upon everyone and spread them by fire and sword. Islam is as bad, so the two have had wars for enturies. No religions are true.

Think about it for a moment.
Was the Artec Indians belief that they had to sacrifice hundreds of a virgins a day to keep blood continually flowing down a pyramid of equal value with the "Golden Rule"? No. So apparently there are some religions that are "better" then others.
It is possible for God to be just one being and a pantheon of thousands of gods at the same time? No. So apparently there are some religions that are more "correct" then others about the nature of God.
It is not "religious racism" to realize that all religions are not of equal value, nor can all be true at the same time. So you take the time to investigate, look at the evidence, read the theology, and come to an informed decision on which religion you believe to the "better" among them.
Hopefully you are making informed decisions like that about all the major issues in your life.

It is religious elitism.
Atheist here.
I think Christianity is the worst by far, based solely on body counts.
Then comes Islam cause they are a fast climbing runner up.
The Jews are a bit better, but they still are working adding to their body counts.
The bottom line - religion is the root of all evil in this world. More killing occurs in the name of a god than for any other reason in all of human history.

No religion is better than the other. If someone choses a religion that best fits their needs then fine but no religion is better than the other. Doing so is called Inter-Religious Conflicts

I think it is better than every other religion for two objective, rational reasons.
(1) It is the only religion which tells the story of redemptive violence from the victim's point of view, thereby subverting the very notion of redemptive violence - the main source of hate in domination cultures. Succinctly, our God becomes man and gets killed - ostensibly he loses. But, really, we suffer with him as he suffers with us and it is this suffering together, literal and embodied com- (together) passion (suffering) that delivers in love and grace. [No other mythology that involves a dying God takes the victims point of view, by the way.]
(2) Catholic and mainline Protestant, Western Christianity is simply a far more complex and rich tradition than any other in existence, with the possible exception of Hinduism. From the Sistine Chapel to the philosophy of Aquinas, Christianity even for its faults produces great advances in human experience. Additionally, we make room for far more secular cultura than any other religion, despite the American perception to the contrary. You won't find any Wagners or Voltaires coming out of Arabic Islam without a price on their heads.

I believe in freedom and acceptance of all faithe, long as it cause no violence, ect...it is not racism, as many races belong to both Moslem and christainity, but it is hatred and prejudice....anyone who sees things only one way or can not accept others without trying to "convert them", is showing a form of prejudice, whether they admit it or not! I have no problem accepting that anyones religion is different from mine and only ask the same respect in return

Christ Jesus said " I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." If you believe in Jesus, and I do, then the only way to heaven is through Jesus' saving grace. No other religion will get you there.
and no, Islam is not the same God as Christianity.

Do Christians hijack planes and slash the crew's throats and fly them into buildings. No true Christian would that! Nor strap bombs to themselves and blow up innocent people. You will know them by their fruit. The main message of Christianity is the forgiveness of sins from a loving God.

As a Christian, I think it is, considering all the wonderful things it has done with my life...I'm not a bitter, hateful, suicidal person anymore, I have peace now the world can't offer. I don't think it's racism by saying that towards other religion or beliefs because I don't put them down anyway.

No. As a Jew, I believe that so long as a person is ethical, it doesn't matter which religion they follow. We should all respect each other.
