I absolutely agree that there is a difference between making judgments based on race, gender, sexual orientation et al. and making them based on religion. But, prejudice of every stripe is still ugly and wrong, and people should never be so quick to judge based on religion.

I make judgements based on all kinds of things all the time, there's nothing wrong with making a judgement.
What is wrong is acting on that judgement in such a way that it negatively effects the people involved.
