Discrimination against an individual based on their race, gender, sexual preference, religion, or other such identifier because of a correlation between that identifier and wealth or other privilege. For example, charging Catholic people a higher entry fee to a club because Catholic people statistically have more wealth than members of other religions.
By awarding financial aid to only women and people of color and citing statistical pay gaps as their justification for doing so, the company was guilty of correlative discrimination against white male individuals with the same level of need.

Get the Alex Discrimination Day mug.Any form of discrimination, humiliation, stigmatization, or violence directed against individuals or groups because their beliefs, practices, or identities are deemed “unscientific” or “not evidence‑based.” It can occur in person (e.g., denying religious accommodations, refusing to hire based on spiritual beliefs) or online (e.g., coordinated harassment of “woo” believers, doxxing of alternative health practitioners). Scientific discrimination leverages the social prestige of science to marginalize, exclude, or harm, often presenting itself as a defense of reason while engaging in textbook bigotry.
Example: “She was denied a promotion after her supervisor learned she practiced meditation rooted in Buddhist traditions—Scientific Discrimination, using the label ‘unscientific’ to punish cultural difference.”

Get the Scientific Discrimination mug.The concrete, harmful application of atheist bigotry in social, professional, or institutional settings. It includes refusing to hire someone because of their spiritual beliefs, excluding them from community spaces, blocking them from professional networks, or orchestrating online harassment campaigns against them. Unlike mere prejudice, discrimination involves actions that limit opportunities, damage reputations, or cause tangible harm. Atheist discrimination often hides behind “merit” or “scientific integrity,” but its effects are indistinguishable from other forms of religious persecution.
Example: “She was denied membership in the skeptic society after she revealed her indigenous spiritual practices—atheist discrimination, using the label ‘unscientific’ to enforce a narrow worldview.”

Get the Atheist Discrimination mug.The concrete, harmful application of Proof Bigotry in social, professional, or institutional settings. It occurs when individuals or groups are excluded, penalized, or discredited because their beliefs, practices, or identities cannot be “proven” according to standards set by those in power. Proof discrimination can look like denying religious accommodation because belief in God cannot be empirically demonstrated, dismissing indigenous land claims because they are based on oral tradition rather than written deeds, or refusing to hire someone whose spiritual practice is deemed “unscientific.” It uses the rhetoric of evidence to justify what is essentially persecution.
Example: “The university denied her request for a meditation space, citing ‘lack of evidence that meditation has measurable benefits’—proof discrimination, using evidentiary standards to deny religious accommodation.”

Get the Proof Discrimination mug.The institutional and interpersonal application of Evidence Prejudice, where individuals or groups are denied opportunities, accommodations, or respect because their knowledge systems do not produce evidence in the form demanded by dominant institutions. Evidence discrimination can be seen in academia, where oral traditions are excluded from “scholarly” status; in medicine, where traditional healing is dismissed as “unproven” despite generations of observed efficacy; and in law, where cultural practices are disallowed because they cannot be documented in Western formats. It uses “evidence” as a gatekeeping mechanism to preserve epistemic hierarchy.
Example: “The court refused to consider Indigenous oral histories as evidence of land stewardship, demanding written deeds instead—evidence discrimination, imposing one culture’s evidentiary rules to erase another’s history.”
