Prejudice against religion is normally subsumed under the word racism because a more precise word does not exist in English. This argument is frequently made online such as here:

The post I referenced was trying to argue down a racist post here:

Everything in your post suggests you should have agreed with my post and should have argued against the original racist post I was trying to call out. Instead you latch onto two sentences in the most superficial way and just ignore the entire point of my post, which you would have understood if you had read just two paragraphs.
I don't think you read my post. I don't think you understood any of it. I think your entire conversation is about the wrong points.

Pone22, my comment is about racism and genetic heritage and I do not understand why you try to turn it into a question of religion.
I cannot know exactly what it takes before you define a problem as horrible but if you think that Denmark has had horrible problems with our Muslim population it must either and most likely be because you are misinformed or because your outlook on life is very pessimistic and negative. At least the problems we have had and have with our Muslim population and with other matters are not so big that it prevents Danes from in general being very happy with the Danish society.
There is no doubt that the people who through our history have caused us most problems are the Swedes but the reason for this is obviously neither genetic nor religious.
In one thing I agree with you; I am sure that no one got or gets your point.

Denmark has had horrible problems with its Muslim population. I am curious about the nuance on your feeling about that. I tried to write about the general issue here, but I think no one got my point:
