Right.
However, some of these can be explained through rational thought and not because you just don't like x religion, etc.
Example: x religion has y moral beliefs about spreading their religion through everything they do, specifically having provisions for merging the church and the state. Opting not to vote for person of x religion for that reason is hardly discriminatory, it's a rational pro/con balance of what that person would likely do in office.
Not all of them can be explained with reason, however, so yes- some of them are just going to strictly be a measure of everyone's discriminatory viewpoints.
