Religious intolerance is intolerance against another's religious beliefs or practices. The mere statement on the part of a religion that its own beliefs and practices are correct and any contrary beliefs incorrect does not in itself constitute intolerance (ie., ideological intolerance). There are many cases throughout history of established religions tolerating other practices. Religious intolerance, rather, is when a group (e.g., a society, religious group, non-religious group) specifically refuses to tolerate practices, persons or beliefs on religious grounds (ie., intolerance in practice).

- The term is heavily used in media and like all matters to do with oppression and bigotry it is both supported and opposed by many, depending on personal views of "right" and "wrong". Legally many countries / states have laws concerning religious intolerance and many fictional settings also deal with the topic - most opt for a fantastical element (much as when tackling racism) to avoid potential offence / controversy but others confront the reality of the topic without apology.
