Racism is termed as both prejudice and discrimination based on social perceptions of biological differences between people. It often takes the form of social actions, practices or beliefs put forward by individuals or even by political systems that consider different races to be ranked as inherently superior or inferior to each other, on the grounds of presumed shared inheritable traits, abilities, or qualities. It may also advocate that members of different races should be treated differently.

Societal racism is a term which refers to racist attitudes within a society. It has also been called structural racism, because society is structured in a way that excludes substantial numbers of people from minority backgrounds from taking part in social institutions.

Religious discrimination is valuing or treating a person or a group differently because of what they do or do not believe.More specifically, it is the case when adherents of different religions are treated unequally either before the law or in institutional settings such as employment or housing.
