What is discrimination based on race or religion?
Racial and/or religious discrimination is treating you less favourably than someone else because of your colour, descent, racial or ethnic background, or your religion or beliefs, or because you don’t have a religious belief.
sterotyping .. thats a form of discrimination 
stereotypes can result in prejudice, discrimination, and bias by ascribing characteristics about a person based on a stereotype without knowing all the facts,.. seems the norm on here

Give example Bevlice
Hey, I cant help speaking truth about Christianity. It stinks and has been a complete failure in all its 2,000 year history.
It is based on fear, hate, anger, lies, discrimination, genocide, infanticide, rape, murder, torture, and it is infact its own Satanic practice.

Anybody that thinks their faith(or lack of it) is perfect and judges others, discriminates.
To lump ALL atheists, Buddhists, Christians, Muslims, etc.into one category by belief is discrimination.
People grow and change over the ages, and some can make a difference in their faith because of that.
To continue a belief AGAINST another's faith based on things that happened hundreds or thousands of years ago, is not giving individuals a chance.

Bevlice:

So when ever anyone discusses your evil beliefs, you call it discrimination?

Thanks Duke - as edifying (  ) as this thread is, it's not even slightly on point. Discrimination has nothing to do with agreement on the truth or falsehood of a belief, it's about making choices or decisions based on another's beliefs. If someone were thoroughly qualified for a position, but was excluded from it based on his or her beliefs, that would be discrimination. Saying that someone's beliefs are unfounded (which by the way is opinion, and shared by all of us about others' beliefs - otherwise we'd share them, right?) has nothing to do with discrimination. Frankly I don't think it has much to do with anything. Bev can shout to the heavens that she has the truth and she had the holy spirit to back her up, but to those of us who don't buy into the bible (or more accurately, into Bev's interpretation of it), it's still just noise.

Loreli,
To continue a belief AGAINST another's faith based on things that happened hundreds or thousands of years ago, is not giving individuals a chance. You seem to miss the point. It is not the people but the dogma that hasn't changed that is the problem. Christian dogma and its bible condone many atrocities just because they are done in the name of the christian god.
SOC and Bev are good examples. SOC claims he would stone a woman if god asked and Bev gave him an AMEN for saying it.
If christians have matured and have changed over the years, why didn't they also change their dogma and what their children are taught?
I'm not against the people, I am against christianity for its evil teachings.
How can a true follower of Jesus follow dogma that preaches such things?
Peace

The use of the word evil is discrimination.
As far as the definition of the term. If you will apply it, all here are guilty of discrimination.
Let him that is without sin, cast the first stone boys and girls.

Sail, you hit on the points i wanted to get bev into.
The fact is they cry wolf. Christianity cant do no wrong. Anyone who discusses christianity in its negative light is a discriminator.
I guess when Christianity enslaved, murdered and supported the worst atrocities to mankind through Gods words and the glorious actions of Christian God fearing people it was okay. It wasnt discrimination.

actually Knots, according to the definition of discrimination, the use of the word good would be discriminating too. Just not an ugly discrimination.

With all due respect, Sail...because a person believes in Jesus or a God,does not mean ALL follow the dogma.
I didn't miss the point.....
It's all over these threads. 
I thank all that have taught me. But I am out of the Religious threads....I came to learn...and mostly I had opportunity to learn hate.

Of cause it would be discrimination.
So where does "good or "ugly" discrimination fit it?
Are you saying its good discrimination because of the word good.
And, you are saying its ugly discrimination because of the word ugly.
So what about truth?
Is it wrong to say something is evil when it is the truth?

No knots, it is not "the truth" it is part of "the truth" You are absolutely correct that horrible and unconscionable things have been done in the name of Christianity. However that is not the complete truth. It is only a focus on one area. There have been great things done in the name of Christianity as well. That is the balance. I believe, however I am no expert by any means, that even your religion teaches balance. The ying and yang? For you to call another religion evil based on the focus of only one side of that religion is out of balance. To search for truth means you must be open right? Knots you are not open. You are as dogmatic as the ones you rail against. I believe Jesus put it this way. Take the speck out of your own eye before you try to remove the log from others. Maybe the problem is that the speck you rail against reminds you of the log in your own eye?
You have every right to seek truth, but if you want to then force your limited vision on others, it becomes discrimination.
