The United States is well known for its diversity on Religion in the country. According to the Pew Research Center 70.6% of Americans are Christians, 20.8% are Catholics, 5.9 % are Non-Christians Faiths and Other world faiths and other religions has a combined number of 1.8% aside from these the remaining 0.8% are those who don’t have religious affiliations. While this entails that the U.S is a very diverse country there are some religious discrimination and bullying happening in the country. In the article of David Masci,” Many Americans see religious discrimination in U.S. – especially against Muslims”, he said that, “Most American adults (82%) say Muslims are subject to at least some discrimination in the U.S. today, according to a Pew Research Center survey conducted in March – including a majority (56%) who say Muslims are discriminated against a lot (Masci). 

It is stated in Katayoun Kishi’s article that,” Overall, there were 307 incidents of anti-Muslim hate crimes in 2016, marking a 19% increase from the previous year. This rise in hate crimes builds on an even sharper increase the year before, when the total number of anti-Muslim incidents rose 67%, from 154 in 2014 to 257 in 2015. Although this only shows the discrimination for Muslims it is also present in other religions such as Jews. 

In an article by David Masci as well he said that "In this year’s survey, roughly two-thirds of Americans (64%) also say Jews face at least some discrimination in the U.S., up 20 percentage points from the last time this question was asked in 2016. More say Jews face some discrimination than a lot (39% vs. 24%) (Masci). This shows how discrimination is felt by other religions as well. People in America said in the surveys that the other religions were discriminated against by being singled out, called mean names, and acted differently towards them. These cases are prevalent in all places and can happen anywhere that is why we should stop Religious Discrimination.
