Religionism is the belief that one religion is superior to all others, often leading to prejudice or discrimination against those of different faiths. It can also refer to the overemphasis on religious doctrines and practices at the expense of other values. Imagine someone claiming their religion is the only true way to salvation and dismissing other beliefsπ ; that's religionism. It goes beyond simply holding strong religious beliefs to actively devaluing other religions. Religionism can manifest as intolerance, bigotry, or even violence. It is crucial to distinguish it from sincere religious devotion.
