Scientific Discrimination

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.”

Atheist Discrimination

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.”

Proof Discrimination

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.”

Evidence Discrimination

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.”

Religions That Discriminate

Islam is the most misunderstood religion - Christians, Jews, Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists and more will burn in hell. They always blame the Muslims and when a Muslim hurts a fly they get sentenced to death and when one your dirty white boys kills someone they help cover up their tracks. Admit it, you're dicks who discriminate.
Christian: That terrorist was a Muslim.
Jew: They totally ripped off of our religion.
Muslim: Stop discriminating.

Trickle down discrimination

What happens when parents, not considerate of the fact that kids will be mean to other kids, say racist or otherwise discriminatory jokes and stereotypes between them or directly to kids, transferring the mindset to their children and feeding their bullying. Generally followed by the minority kids getting bullied for being different from the group, and so feeling increasingly apart, sometimes even turning to radicalism in response.
Trickle down discrimination typical case :

6 year old Kid : Hey dad there is another boy in my class who speaks French, isn't that cool!?
Dad: Oh I see! Haha you know, we call them frogs because they eat frog legs.

6 year old kid next day : Hey Frog! BAHAHAHA do you really eat frog legs?
French kid : ew no!
Other kids : Hahaha you do Frog!
