The web page "Religion or Belief Discrimination" talks about the different types of religious discrimination and when it is lawful or not. Religion or belief discrimination is when one person treats another person differently because of their religion or beliefs. People are protected from religious discrimination because of the Equality Act. The 4 main types of discrimination are direct discrimination, indirect discrimination, harassment, and victimization. Being discriminated against because of your beliefs is unlawful in most situations. There are, however, situations where discrimination is lawful. Lawful discrimination usually pertains to a job.

I wonder if you could say "singling out" in addition to "separating"? This would have a more general and less specific definition. I think "separating" would have more to do with segregation rather than discrimination. Yes, segregation and discrimination could fit into the same category because they are similar, but segregation is a type of discrimination because it generally has to do with separating people only based on the color of their skin. "Singling out" is a better term to use because it includes separating/segregation.

Discrimination is putting down someone or miss treating someone because of certain characteristics. it's taking away resources from someone just based on something they cannot help or change.

Yes but how are they being treated? Is it good? No, it's being mistreated and hated on for things they cannot control. If someone is a darker skin tone then they may be treated poorly by someone with a lighter tone. Someone with a sexuality different than heterosexual may get hate for loving who they are attracted to.
