Alright, well let's be really techincal then and examine my original statement:

Quote:
For the last time, it's not racism when you're speaking of religion you fucking morons.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/racism
rac·ism ( P ) Pronunciation Key (rszm)
n.
The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.
Discrimination or prejudice based on race.

http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/racism
Function: noun
1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race

http://www.sahrc.org.za/definition_of_racism.htm
The ICERD (International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination) defines racism as follows:
?Any distinction, exclusion, restriction, or preference based on race, colour, descent, or national or ethnic origin which has the purpose or effect of nullifying or impairing the recognition, enjoyment, or exercise, on equal footing, of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural, or any other field of public life.?

So now, where does any dictionary define racism as involving religion?
