It depends where you are in the world, I think. Speaking from just my local area, I think Neuro has a great point about discrimination against fat people being seen as the most acceptable. There is also a lot of stigma against people with mental or physical disability. In terms of what I've seen on the internet, the highest frequency of disgusting prejudice is directed at Muslims/the Islamic faith, but there is a lot of horrible things said about gay people too. Discrimination based on sex and sexuality is often completely legal. I'd usually go into more detail because it's an interesting question (even though it's an arguably counter-productive one), but I'm not in the mood today.
EDIT: Remembered a documentary I saw weeks ago about the horrific treatment of homosexuals in countries like Uganda. If we're talking globally, discrimination against homosexuality is abhorrent. Not saying it's the worst because I have no idea, but it is truly terrible.
You have used two related terms, which divide people from a particular branch of the Abrahamic religions, from other people who also believe in the teachings of Abraham. These also divide these people from people who have other religious beliefs, as well as dividing them from people who are not religious. The use of these terms might be offensive to some people, whether they are religious, or whether they are not religious.
Those people are creating their own divisions, and then further divisions within those divisions. I'm merely discussing the implications of those divisions between those who believe in the Abrahamic God, not creating the divisions.
Anyone who is offended by the mere mention of different beliefs can continue to be offended for all I care. They are the ones opposing a harmonious society by wishing to be willfully blind to the realities of divisions within society. They cannot create a harmonious society if they are willfully blind to current social divisions.
Which group of people do you believe is the most discriminated against

Why are you creating divisions in society?

Very well put, and clearly understandable.
