This worked with race since there's black/white etc.... A translation problem really.
The term they are trying to look for is that "You have something against a group of people that belong to this religion" but doesn't result in Religious Discrimination. This is not the case, as an Atheist, you are speaking out against the religion which is really just "insulting the religion" which is similar to Blasphemy but not quite.....
There is Hadith that means "Those who curse the time of day, are insulting God"
When arabs argue and someone says "... f-king day ..." they just refer to the incident as "sabb el-din" which means "insulting the religion". This is actually saying "insulting god" with reference to that Haddith because god = religion, but it is extremely slang and really few people understand how this came to be.
That is true , there is a difference between "Racist" and "Onsori" .
"Onsori" : An arabic word which means differentiating and discriminating between groups of people based on color, race, religion or culture.
Racism is only about race I think.
