'''Religious antisemitism''' is the aversion to or discrimination against Jews as a whole based on religious doctrines of [[supersession]], which expect or demand the disappearance of [[Judaism]] and the conversion of Jews to other faiths.{{sfn|Nirenberg|2014|loc=Introduction, Epilogue}} This form of antisemitism has frequently served as the basis for false claims and religious [[antisemitic trope]]s against Judaism. Sometimes, it is called '''theological antisemitism'''.

Some scholars have argued that modern antisemitism is primarily based on nonreligious factors, [[John Higham (historian)|John Higham]] is emblematic of this school of thought. However, this interpretation has been challenged. In 1966, [[Charles Glock]] and [[Rodney Stark]] first published public opinion polling data, which showed that most Americans based their [[stereotypes of Jews]] on religion. Since then, further opinion polling in America and Europe has supported this conclusion.<ref name="Michael">{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=5G3feplFBYUC&q=religious+anti+semitism&pg=PA101 |title=A Concise History of American Antisemitism |author=Robert Michael |publisher=Rowman & Littlefield |page=101 |year=2005|isbn=9780742543133 }}</ref>
