Apart from the fact that your statement is simply not true, every value "discriminates" towards opposite values.

In every hierarchy, when you define something as better, you automatically define something else as worse. That's how you make any decision in your life. The alternative is inaction.

It has nothing to do with religion. It's an axiom of every value system.

> remember that every religion teaches intolerance to other beliefs.

Every religion teaches disagreement with other beliefs, not every one teaches intolerance of them.

> every religion teaches intolerance to other beliefs.

Not so. Big difference (and spectrum) between a Buddhist saying "I think my way is better, try it for yourself, or don't!" and a (insert fundamentalist sect here) saying "You deserve to die if you don't think like me." You don't even have to be religious to claim the latter, some political belief systems will also do just fine.

Please don't put words in others' mouths. It's a disgustingly dishonest rhetorical trick, and it doesn't belong on HN.

atheism is unique in this regard because their intolerance stems from a higher Scientific Truth, so it is ok /s
