But IS there a recognized term for discrimination against religion? ‘Religion discrimination’ is kind of clumsy, and (as has been pointed out) ‘xenophobia’ is just too broad.
And what’s wrong with neologisms, anyway? If we start using ‘religionism’ in the context mentioned, it might catch on and stop being a neologism.
