The 1876 US presidential campaign saw the return of bigotry that once was the cornerstone of the Know Nothing Party. Many Americans were afraid of Catholic schools and colleges. They feared that US Catholics were loyal to the Catholic pope in Rome.

Is religious prejudice the worst type of prejudice?

Prejudice is prejudice. Whatever form it touches you; it is equally as bad as whatever form it touches another person. Prejudice has no 'degrees' of medium, good, bad, terrible, or worse. At the same time, some prejudice can be ignored. For example: I'm one of Jehovah's Witnesses, the brunt of religious prejudice. We're constantly called a 'cult'. We're viewed as anti-Christian for not celebrating Christmas, birthdays; for not believing in the trinity; for not believing in eternal torment. But NONE of that prejudice bothers us. We hold our heads up, and just keep knocking on them doors.
